Accreditation.........I have to do what??!!!

[LaLa1923]

My new client with three kids will be getting funding through NACCRRA. I have to join NACCRRA in order to accept the funding. In order to join NACCRRA I must become accredited........great...... Everything I've read looks like I will be spending a lot of time and money on this. I really don't see any positives yet. Well....actually.....there's one! I am going to submit my receipts to MSDE to be reimbursed. I'm not sure how much they will pay but even a little will help...

I'll be here often writing about my experience with accreditation..... We can go through it together..

Hey Lala..


I just started the self-study and sort of a "blog" here on my experiences. I titled it "accreditation journey" or something.

How about we join forces? We can both post our stuff on that thread, and thereby avoid boring redundancies.

Sounds good!
How are you liking it? Who are you taking it through?

You can have a degree, but I don't. So without an ECE degree you must be accredited.

The National Association of Child Care Resourse and Referral Agency (I believe that's what the acronym stands for).
