NATIONAL ACCREDITATION SETS LITTLE MUNCHKINS ACADEMY APART:
National Accreditation offers national recognition to child care programs meeting the highest standards for early care and education. The highest level of quality is achieved through a process that examines all aspects of the child care program, and encompasses a comprehensive set of standards broken down into five core competencies: relationships, the environment, developmental learning activities, safety, health, and professional and business practices.
