NAEYC Accreditation

 

A MARK OF DISTINCTION

Accreditation is a mark of distinction that helps you find the best possible educational experience for your young child.


Lily Pond Early Learning Center, serving infants to pre-kindergarten, has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) since 2006. NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that Lily Pond is a national leader in high-quality early childhood education.
