We Are Accredited

A family’s care, safety, and happiness is our utmost concern, which is why we took the voluntary step to become accredited by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).  NAEYC is the largest and most well-respected accrediting organization for preschool programs in the country. An accredited program gives Kiddie Academy families the comfort of knowing their child’s early education is top notch. 

​Only 1 in 10 preschool programs in Missouri have earned the designation of NAEYC Accreditation.
​We are proud to be among them.

Rigorous Evaluations

There are over 400 criteria to prove a program meets NAEYC standards. Reports are submitted to NAEYC every year, along with new verification procedures including unannounced visit to maintain our accreditation.

​The criteria evaluated include:

• Teachers
• Curriculum
• Teaching Methods
• Student Assessments
• Healthy Practices
• Family Engagement
• Student/Teacher Relationships
• Community Relationships
• School Environment
• Leadership & Management
