Do currently accredited programs follow the same steps of enrollment, application, candidacy, and meeting the standards for reaccreditation?
Yes. Currently accredited programs must follow all four steps, including enrolling in self study (Step 1). They may choose to enroll at any point during their current accreditation, providing the program sufficient time to complete each step before their current term expires. A chart on the NAEYC Website http://www.naeyc.org/academy/pdf/Applying_for_NAEYC_Accreditation_currently_accredited.pdf outlines dates by which currently accredited programs must apply (Step 2) and submit Candidacy materials (Step 3) to avoid a lapse in their accreditation status.
