Program Accreditation Support

TECTA provides support to pursue NAEYC, NECPA, and other program accreditation. TECTA staff are available at each site to assist through the preparation and application process. All fees are paid by TECTA and, for a limited time, grants are available for programs that obtain accreditation.

Program accreditation support is available for child care programs striving to work beyond the minimum state licensing standards.

If you are ready to take a comprehensive look at your program and pursue professional accreditation or re-accreditation, TECTA is here to support the entire process by offering:

  • Training, consultations to assess accreditation readiness, and fee assistance for accreditation applications
  • Tuition support to help you and your staff improve their educational qualifications and earn a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential and/or complete associate, bachelor’s, or graduate degree programs
  • Technical assistance to help you get started on a professional development plan
  • Networking with support groups in your area
  • Help with self-study materials and a review of administrative documents where required

  • National Association for the Education of Young Children
  • National Association for Family Child Care
