We are a school serving children (3 years) through 6th grade. When we apply for NAEYC Accreditation, do we have to include the kindergarten program?
All eligible age groups within a program must be enrolled. Institutions that have multiple programs within the same building where each program has a separate identifiable name and separate budget may elect to enroll only one program (for example, a public school may enroll only its preK classes without the kindergarten classes when the classes are operated as separate entities with separate funding structures.).
