What happens to a program with staff changes that prevent them from meeting the candidacy requirements? Does their NAEYC Accreditation get revoked immediately?
No. As mentioned in the Council’s policy, programs accredited AFTER September 15, 2006 should meet and maintain candidacy requirements throughout their NAEYC Accreditation term. In the instance that a program does not meet the candidacy requirements as indicated in the Annual Report, that program is subject to additional verification. Verification ranges from requiring the submission of additional documentation or the NAEYC Academy conducting a phone interview to discuss the program’s strategies for training and hiring staff in order to meet candidacy requirements or a site visit. It is based on that verification, whether the program should maintain their accreditation status or revocation should be considered.
