NAEYC

Rose Tree Day School has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 1990. NAEYC administers the largest and most widely recognized national, voluntary, professionally sponsored accreditation system for all types of early childhood schools and child care centers. Rose Tree Day School has undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study and invited an external professional review to verify compliance with the criteria for High-Quality Early Childhood Programs. In our initial and subsequent reviews, we have been found to be in substantial compliance with all criteria. The Rose Tree Day School families, staff and board of directors all work in conjunction to achieve this recognition and accreditation.
