Teaching approaches and facility achieve high marks with accreditation<\/em><\/p>\n

BRIGHTON, N.Y. \u2013 <\/strong>The Richard M. Guon Child Care Center at Monroe Community College recently received reaccreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), achieving high scores for quality based on national standards.<\/p>\n

Less than 10 percent of the nation\u2019s child care centers, preschools and kindergartens have achieved NAEYC accreditation.<\/p>\n

The center on MCC\u2019s Brighton Campus has been NAEYC-accredited for the past 30 years. The latest accreditation is for five years.<\/p>\n

To earn\u00a0accreditation, child care center administrators and staff conduct an extensive self-study, measuring the program and its services against NAEYC\u2019s 10 areas of\u00a0early childhood program standards that consist of over 400 accreditation criteria.\u00a0Onsite and unannounced visits by NAEYC assessors are also part of the review process.<\/p>\n

MCC\u2019s center earned high scores for curriculum, teaching approaches, assessment of child progress, nutrition and health of children, educational qualifications and ongoing development of teaching staff, relationships with families and community, physical environment, and leadership and management. (Go online for a list of NYAEYC’s standards<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The child care center provides early care and education for children \u2014 from 2 months old through age 5 \u2014 of MCC students, faculty and staff as well as local community members, with a focus on preparing young children to be ready for school by age 5. It is licensed to serve 96 children. In fall 2018, the center began offering full-day programs to Rochester City School District children. It also serves families in the Rush-Henrietta Central School District.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to maintain the mark of quality from NAEYC and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,\u201d said Angela Colt, director of the center. \u201cI am proud to work with a talented team of dedicated teachers who tirelessly provide exceptional care and an engaging, safe and effective learning environment for children. Because of our team, we are able to contribute to the success of MCC student-parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
