Accreditation:

The Children's House , is NATIONALLY ACCREDITED by the International Academy for Private Education (IAPE). IAPE is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing accreditation and educational evaluative services to private educational institutions. Specifically, the IAPE accredits four types of private educational facilities and programs. They include private licensed child day programs, private preschools, private elementary schools, and private secondary schools.

Our accreditation services feature an evaluative review process based on accepted methods and principles of school, curriculum, teacher and pupil study. Health and safety, as well as the institution's reputation and long standing in the field, are all considered as part of the complete examination.

Each of our accreditation programs are based on four principle components. They include 1)The Self Evaluation Review, 2) Staff Survey, 3) Parent Survey, 4) Onsite study and Evaluation and Validation. Upon successful completion of the full program, the center is granted a national accreditation certificate.
