NAFCC Accreditation

 

The National Association for Family Child Care Foundation, NAFCC, sponsors a program of family child care accreditation, which is available to you, a family child care provider.
 
For you, accreditation means continuous improvement in your field-child care. It also opens up opportunities for grants and reimbursements, and professional development that are only available to accredited providers. Becoming NAFCC Accredited benefits not only you, the provider, but also
children, parents, employers, and communities. 
 
How does it work? The NAFCC accreditation process includes a few initial qualifications that a provider must meet in order to be considered for the program. Once you are found to be qualified , you will begin the process of accreditation, which may take as long as 2 years, or as little as 9 months to complete, depending on your circumstances.
 
There is a minimal fee for this program, but it is well worth it when you consider the respect and recognition that accreditation will bring you, as well as the many ways you will benefit the lives of the children you care for.
