AUBURN – Clover Preschool has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a national organization of early childhood professionals.

NAEYC Accreditation was established 20 years ago and has become a recognized sign of quality in early childhood education programs. More than 10,000 programs serving more than 850,000 children are accredited by NAEYC.

To earn NAEYC’s accreditation, a program conducts a self-study to determine how well it meets the standards. After necessary improvements are made, the program is observed by independent, professional validators, and then reviewed by a national panel. Programs are accredited by NAEYC for five years.
