A Deep Dive into the NAFCC Accreditation Process!

This interactive session provides an overview of the NAFCC Accreditation process, designed specifically for family child care educators and the coaches who support them on their journey. Participants will explore the phases of accreditation, from Self-Study to Re-Accreditation, and gain a deeper understanding of the quality standards that drive professional excellence in home-based early care and education. Through dynamic discussions and reflection activities, attendees will leave equipped with insights and strategies to either support educators or, in the case of educators, advance their path toward achieving and maintaining NAFCC Accreditation.
