What should a program do if a NAEYC criterion differs from a rule or regulation from a public agency (licensing, public school board, military, etc.) that regulates the program?
When a program is subject to a governmental rule of regulation that prohibits or exceeds the expectation outlined in a criterion, that rule or regulation takes precedence. When a governmental rule or regulation differs in other ways, or sets a lower threshold of performance, NAEYC Accreditation Criteria takes precedence.
