What will be an ideal response?


The two main types of accreditation are those intended for early childhood centers and those intended for higher education programs. Accreditation systems for early childhood centers, such as the process sponsored by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, are voluntary programs that allow centers to demonstrate that they strive for a high level of excellence rather than minimum criteria mandated by the state or federal government. Accreditation systems designed for higher education programs, such the system administered by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, ensure that academic teacher training programs produce educators who reflect a set of values shared by early childhood professionals and possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to be a successful early childhood teacher.
