Local Early Learning Center Celebrates The First Achievement Of Its Kind

Elizabeth Early Learning Center in Lynchburg is celebrating its accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. According to the center’s Executive Director, only 8 percent of early childhood programs in the country are accredited and is the only childhood programs center in the Lynchburg area to receive the recognition. The process was a lengthy one taking about two years. The application included surveys of parents and staff and a site visit from an assessor. The school had to meet more than 400 criteria to earn the accreditation.
