NAEYC Early Learning Program 2022 Standards and Assessment Items are research-based standards and recommended best practices for center-based early learning programs that serve children birth through preschool. Navy CDCs and 24/7 programs shall apply these standards toward achievement and maintenance of quality programming and accreditation as required.

Achieving and maintaining NAEYC accreditation is required of all eligible Navy child development centers and 24/7 centers. All programs are considered eligible unless an approved exception from CNIC is documented. In order to comply with Navy Child and Youth Program Policy, new and non-accredited programs must follow the Navy CYP timetable to gain NAEYC accreditation status. This fillable timeline is required to notify CNIC of the plan toward NAEYC accreditation for all non-accredited programs and serves as a guide for action planning to become accredited.

The Medication Dispensation Log provides a written record of the medication being given by CYP staff to the child (when it was administered, by whom, and the dosage given).

The Navy Child and Youth Programs Interactions and Relationships Standard provides CYP Professionals with specific information and guidance regarding the Navy's requirements for facilitating appropriate and healthy interactions.

This booklet will give you an overview of the laws pertaining to inclusion and how they relate to your child care or youth program. You can use this information to ensure your program compiles with federal laws protecting children and youth with disabilities.
