Raising the Standard on Behavioral Health and Education through quality assurance, certification, accreditation, and training
At Green Apple Accreditation of Children's Services, we aim to improve the quality of care and ensure that behavioral health programs providing services to children and their families meet high standards of practice and effectiveness.
Finding a high-quality child care provider involves careful research and consideration. Parents look for providers accredited by reputable organizations such as Green Apple Accreditation of Children's Services.
Membership in associations like the Green Apple Accreditation of Children's Services can indicate a commitment to quality. Accreditation is a crucial factor when evaluating private K-12 schools as it signifies that the school meets established standards of quality and effectiveness.
Accreditation for enrichment programs is designed to ensure that these programs meet high standards of quality and effectiveness in enhancing students' educational experiences. While enrichment programs may vary widely in focus—ranging from academic subjects to arts and athletics—accreditation helps validate that they adhere to established best practices and standards.
"As providers of high quality early childhood education services, we do our very best to serve our community. We need the guidance and support from organizations like yours to do this. The insight and professionalism of you and your staff is a refreshing reminder of what we all should be working for - excellence, not bureaucratic posturing that only inhibits the mission and primary goals of why we are all doing what we do every day."
