SNACS Preschool Program Structure
National Accreditation
The preschool is a licensed program accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Being accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children is the Gold Stamp of Approval on the program and practices. SNACS Preschool Staff has worked to ensure all 400 criteria in 10 categories were implemented in the program. The 10 areas examined include Relationships, Curriculum, Teaching, Assessments, Health, Teachers, Families, Community, Environment, and Leadership. Becoming accredited through NAEYC is one of the first formal steps in establishing a framework for a P-3 system with the partnering Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School. We will recognize the SNACS Preschool Staff for their achievement at the local Reno Association for the Education of Young Children on December 1st. The achievement shows commitment to educating young children in developmentally appropriate practice. Children at SNACS Preschool are learning through play and loving it! SNACS Preschool staff members are doing what is right for young children. Help us celebrate young children and those who love working with young children! Congratulations SNACS Preschool!
