  • 1.  NAEYC Renewal/Accreditation

    Posted 04-06-2020 01:57 PM
    Hi, We are suppose to submit our quarterly report in preparation for renewal in July. We are trying to maneuver through Covid and are concerned about our timeline with getting teachers and admin portfolios done. Does anyone know if their been any kind of automatic extension for this or is an extension something we would need to apply for?

    I would check the website and  NAEYC Portal for your center.  I think that everything was suspended, but NAEYC is teleworking.  I am not sure how long that was going to be happening. Our center had the site visit on March 6, just before everything began shutting down.  Good luck.

    To stay up to date with issues pertaining to NAEYC Accreditation, programs would want to go to:

    https://www.naeyc.org/accreditation/early-learning-program-accreditation

    And scroll down to the bottom of the web page where it says "Get Updates from NAEYC".  It then allows you to select which electronic newsletter you want to subscribe to.  For Accreditation issues, you would select "Early Learning Accreditation Program News".  This is a main way that NAEYC is keeping Accredited sites up to date.

    I would be interested in mowing that answer, too.  Before the quarantine. I thought the website was down.  Wonder if it is up and working now?
