The Accreditation Assistance Project assists centers located in targeted areas of St. Petersburg and Clearwater with limited access to accredited child care programs.  This exciting project will assist centers through the NAEYC accreditation process. The Accreditation Assistance Project is implemented through the Coalition's Professional Development Department and enhanced by onsite coaching and mentoring.  Once accredited, you will be eligible for:    

• Increased reimbursement rate of up to 20% to support continued program quality 
• Mini grants for materials to enhance and to better equip your center
