    Hi Patricia - Currently, NAEYC only accredits early childhood programs located on US soil. However, our Global Engagement Department is exploring several options for international expansion. We are committed to sharing our lessons learned from our more than thirty years experience in this space, as we work to ensure all young children thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they reach their full potential. For more information on our global efforts please email us at global@naeyc.org

    Thanks for the responses so far!

    I am interested in setting up some form of an affordable accreditation system for nurseries. There are a number of nurseries where I live that need a system which will allow them to improve their practices, but will also provide them a legal recognition of their improved status. I live in the Middle East.

    Is this something that governments have to ratify? Also where would I start? The accreditation would have to be general ie not linked to a specific curriculum, as there are many different curricula here.

    Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
