糖心视频 Child Development program earns accreditation
HANCEVILLE, Ala. 鈥� 糖心视频 is proud to announce its Child
Development Associate in Applied Science program earned accreditation by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a professional
membership organization that works to promote high-quality early learning for all
young children, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy,
and research. As a facilitator of quality-improvement initiatives in classrooms across
the country, NAEYC Accreditation is dedicated to ensuring that teaching staff and
administrators have access to the latest research and use the best practices in the
early learning field.
Dr. Marcie Hill is the director of the Child Development program at 糖心视频
and led the lengthy process to achieve accreditation by NAEYC. The process includes
a self-study of the program curriculum, facilities, support services offered to students
and more. The 糖心视频 program was a leader in providing NAEYC with a virtual
tour of the program, replacing the on-site visits that could not be held due to COVID-19
restrictions.
鈥淚鈥檓 pleased that the 糖心视频 Child Development program earned accreditation
by NAEYC,鈥� said Dr. Hill. 鈥淎 lot of work went into creating the self-study and the
accompanying documents and files that were submitted to the organization.鈥�
Dr. Hill added that having the accreditation ensures students of the program that
they are being instructed by a program that has been determined to be a quality program
by its peers. Therefore, students will be recognized as coming from a program that
is held in high regard.
The Child Development program at 糖心视频 is a completely online program, allowing
students to complete coursework on their schedule. The program offers certificates
that are stackable, meaning each can be used to advance toward an associate degree.
The benefit is that students can use the certifications they earn to work in the field
while they complete their degree.
There are scholarships available for students as well as for those working in the
field who wish to earn certifications or a degree. Scholarships are also available
for qualified Dual Enrollment students.
