What is the Decision Process after the verification visit?
The Assessor(s) will submit results of the assessment to the NAEYC Academy where these results will be reviewed by staff for procedural accuracy. The Council for NAEYC Early Childhood Program Accreditation, an independent group appointed by the NAEYC Governing Board, establishes the policies that guides the actual decision making and handles the appeals’ process. (Click here for more information on the Appeals process.) Since a verification visit will not include a complete assessment, the decision will be based on each classroom meeting 70% of the criteria on which they are assessed and that all Required Criteria are met.
