Kiddie Academy of Darien has been re-accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children

We are proud to announce that Kiddie Academy® of Darien has been re-accredited by The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our program received it’s first NAEYC accreditation in 2019. 

Accreditation tells your family that a child care center provides high-quality childhood education in a safe environment. It gives you peace of mind in knowing your children are receiving early care and education that prepares them for success in school and in life.. 

More than 6,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition. NAEYC accreditation is considered the gold standard for excellence in the field of early childhood education.

When an Academy receives accreditation, here are just a few things it signals to families:

Qualified and prepared teachers and staff

A safe, caring environment

Excellent communications with families

An ongoing process of self-review and improvement

High-quality curriculum and practices

We’re looking forward to continuing to provide the best educational child care possible to our community!
