Governance / Commission on Infant & Early Childhood Education

Commission on Infant & Early Childhood Education.

This NCPSA commission focuses on the earliest stages of learning, from birth through age five. It brings together experts to set high standards for accrediting agencies that serve preschools, child care centers, and early education programs. By ensuring these agencies follow research-backed, developmentally appropriate practices, the Commission helps promote safe, nurturing environments that give young children a strong start.
