NAEYC Accredited
The National Association for Education of Young Children
NAEYC has made great strides in raising the standards for childcare centers.
They have raised the educational requirements for teachers and staff, as well as set guidelines for community and family engagement, classroom design, and curriculum development.
GCDC has put significant effort into achieving this accreditation, and we actively embrace their proven and evidence-based successful method.
In 2025, we were officially reaccredited for the next five years with a score above 90%!
