Cherish the Children Learning Center, located in the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center in Minneapolis, has been awarded the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA). This nationally recognized accreditation follows a rigorous process of self-study, surveys of parents and staff, verification by early childhood education/child care professionals, and a final review by the NECPA Board of Commissioners. The accreditation is valid for three years, after which the program must complete the process again in order to maintain its accredited status.
NECPA Accreditation is reserved for exceptional early childhood programs that substantially exceed minimum state licensing requirements. Parents seeking care and education for their young children can use national accreditation as a means of locating the highest quality programs. Cherish the Children is located at the MIWRC at 2300 15th Ave. South, Minneapolis. For more information call Heather Reynolds at 612-728-2013.
