New Horizon Academy is committed to the philosophy and guidelines set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation by NAEYC is a voluntary process, achieved by approximately 10% of early learning programs, nationwide. NAEYC accreditation is a comprehensive examination of the center's entire program, and is a collaborative effort between management, parents, and the teaching staff.
Of particular focus are the interactions between the teaching staff and children, which is the foundation of any high quality program. Health and safety policies and practices, staff qualifications and training systems, classroom environments, child assessments, community connections, and communication with families are also closely reviewed during the NAEYC accreditation process.
All New Horizon Academies have either achieved accreditation by NAEYC, or are actively involved in the accreditation process. When you visit any New Horizon Academy, please ask the director for more information about NAEYC accreditation or visit the NAEYC website.
