The Accreditation Project
The Accreditation project strives to improve the quality of early care and education for children in Maine by increasing the number of accredited family child care providers, child care centers, part day programs, and school age programs. Accreditation means that the program meets nationally recognized standards for high quality care and education. Quality programs promote the physical, social, and cognitive development of children.
