Part 2: Standards of Practice for your proposed program

All programs for children are expected to provide high quality programs for young children. In addition to applicable local or state licensing requirements, administrators are âexpected to go beyond meeting minimum standards established by the states and strive for higher standards of qualityâ (Sciarra, Lynch, Adams, and Dorsey, 2015, p. 31). The best known and most widely accepted standards for quality practices for programs serving children, birth through kindergarten, are those developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (p. 31). For programs serving older children, there are standards for school-age programs and family child care programs.
