Its early years began in 1991 when leading industry professionals of the National Child Care Association envisioned a valid and reputable Accreditation choice that promoted all eligible programs to raise their quality bar, bringing tangible benefits and experiences to the lives of the children and families they served each day.\u00a0 Founding the NECPA required extensive research followed by pilot testing to ensure the commitment to rich standard components.\u00a0 Since this time, we have promoted the most reliable measures of quality in the early childhood field both nationally and abroad. Transitioning from one generation to the next requires pursuance of comparisons to various accepted quality assessments to ensure NECPA is offering programs current research and best practices for their early childhood settings.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-588967\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-964638\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-222279 kc_row kc_row_inner\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-898363 kc_col-sm-6 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-468991\">\n\t<a class=\"kc_button\" href=\"https:\/\/necpa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF\/NECPA\/The_NECPA_Choice.pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" onclick=\"\">\n\t\tNECPA Choice <i class=\"fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-928702 kc_col-sm-6 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-991915\">\n\t<a class=\"kc_button\" href=\"https:\/\/necpa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF\/NECPA\/Whatitmeans.pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" onclick=\"\">\n\t\tWhat It Means to You <i class=\"fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-165189\" style=\"height: 101px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-807544\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":2267,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-blank-4.php","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>History of NECPA - NECPA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/page\/History\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"History of NECPA - NECPA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Thank you for pursuing excellence!
