Our Certification Achievements

At Little Ones Academy, we are dedicated to achieving excellence. We mandate that all our educators and the academy director consistently update their Continuing Education (CE) to ensure it remains current. Our professional accreditations provide you with confidence and peace of mind, assuring you that your child’s education is in capable hands.

One of the national accreditations we hold is from FACCM for APPLE (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment). This is a prestigious national early learning program accreditation that acknowledges the operation of high-quality programs in early learning centers. Extensive research has established a direct correlation between a child’s future success and their experience in a high-quality early learning environment.

Another accreditation we proudly possess is the Gold Seal. In 1996, the Florida Legislature introduced the Gold Seal Quality Care program to commend childcare facilities and family daycare homes accredited by nationally recognized agencies. These establishments adhere to standards reflecting quality in child care and supervision. Being accredited as a Gold Seal Quality Care program signifies a commitment to educational professionalism and exceeding the comprehensive benchmarks of health and safety.

Our participation in these programs surpasses the mandatory standards set for all childcare facilities, as we continually strive for excellence. FACCM collaborates with our childcare program, engaging in an in-depth self-study based on established national standards, coupled with a rigorous inspection process that guides us to meet the elevated criteria required for Gold Seal Quality Care program status.

These accrediting bodies uphold standards that often surpass the minimum licensing requirements mandated by our state for childcare centers. Achieving these seals of approval annually is a testament to our commitment to maintaining these high standards.
