There is a jar on the 'notebook' table for you to drop them into. We turn them in for CASH for our school. This is an on-going program, so please save them throughout the year. Another way we receive 'free' cash for our school is with our grocery card program. At 'Central Market' every time you make a purchase and show them one of our grocery cards, they give 5% of your total purchase back to our school. If you have family or friends who would use a card to help us, please let us know and we will give you as many as you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAEYC Accreditation!!! KinderFrogs has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the nation's leading organization of early childhood professionals. The five-year accreditation is the strongest accrediting system available to early childhood programs. KinderFrogs is the only university-affiliated program in the Fort Worth area that has earned the accreditation and only 25 percent of the childcare/educational centers in America have this national accreditation. “We're proud to be accredited by NAEYC, and recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,” said Marilyn Tolbert, director and Jean W. Roach Chair of Laboratory Schools at TCU. “NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences.” Due to the lengthy accreditation process, KinderFrogs faculty and staff worked on the accreditation for two years. The process involved submitting program information to determine eligibility as an applicant for NAEYC accreditation. The information included licensing status, program staff and leadership understanding the NAEYC process and a high volume of paperwork. Once the application was accepted, KinderFrogs began a self-study of their program to ensure that it met each of the 10 NAEYC Early Childhood Standards. This included self-evaluation of all procedures, classrooms, relationships with families, staff, health and safety, curriculum, and facilities. More than 11,000 early childhood programs, serving over one million young children, are currently accredited by NAEYC. “In recent years, we've seen a growing number of child care and preschool programs earning NAEYC Accreditation,” said Mark Ginsberg, Ph.D., executive director of NAEYC. “By earning accreditation, KinderFrogs School at TCU has become a leader in a national effort to raise the quality of early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early Childhood Music: The website for TCU Early Childhood music is www.musicprep.tcu.edu If you click on Early Childhood Music, you will be able to see the Fall 2006 schedule and more information about the program.
