Accreditation Mentoring

This is for programs that want to become accredited for the first time or require support to become accredited through the new NAEYC standards. This service provides you with a facilitator that can take you through the entire process or help you figure your areas of challenge.

CREATE Results

Revealing children’s learning, realizing teachers’ potential: CREATE Results is an approach for building early childhood programs that continuously improve, demonstrate children’s learning, and create a set of practices specific to the children and community. Using an innovative school improvement framework, it guides programs to identify opportunities for positive change and address those opportunities with professional development resources.

With CREATE Results:

• Children achieve valued outcomes, and their learning is made visible in attractive, meaningful displays
• Teachers grow professionally while strengthening their connection to the school community
• Parents and community see evidence of children learning through active, engaged experiences

Targeted Technical Assistance 

This is for programs that are looking for technical assistance in a very specific area for a short period of time. For example, you feel your teachers need support right away to specifically improve literacy experiences in the classroom.
