NAEYC Fourth Anniversary Annual Report
© 2015. National Association for the Education of Young Children. All rights reserved.
NAEYC no longer accepts the Annual Report up to two (2) calendar months past a program’s accreditation anniversary date. The Annual Report will be accepted up to two (2) calendar months before the accreditation anniversary date, but the postmark date of the Annual Report submission must be on or before the accreditation anniversary date. A program that needs additional time is permitted to submit the Annual Report up to one (1) calendar month after its anniversary date if it pays a late fee of $150.
The following graphic further explains the Annual Report Submission Window that all programs must follow at this time.
NAEYC Fourth Anniversary Annual Report
© 2015. National Association for the Education of Young Children. All rights reserved.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the fourth anniversary Annual Report is to: Demonstrate preparedness for the Renewal process Ensure that accredited programs are continuing to meet the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and Accreditation
Criteria. Increase the accountability of the NAEYC Accreditation system for children, families, and all customers of NAEYC
Accreditation. Provide NAEYC with the most up-to-date information related to the program’s current daily operations and overall
characteristics.
INSTRUCTIONS The Annual Report is due on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary of a program’s accreditation (refer to the program’s accreditation certificate for this anniversary date). Failure to submit an Annual Report within the established submission window will result in the revocation of the program’s accreditation. In order to complete this report programs will need to refer to the criteria, which are available on The Online Resource Center Headquarters (TORCH) to support program quality improvement, in the publication NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and Accreditation Criteria (NAEYC # 9900), and in the NAEYC Self-Study Kit.

Section 4: CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
Instructions
To complete Section 4: Continuous Quality Improvement Measures, each of the 2008 Sources of Evidence should be complete with labeled pieces of evidence or completed summary forms. Reference your completed Sources of Evidence to answer the following questions. Notes:
• If your program has not completed the Teaching Staff and Family Surveys at this time, you may estimate the survey scores for each criterion by referencing information collected through alternative means. For example, if your program conducts its own survey of staff and families annually or collects feedback from staff and families through face-to-face meetings, information from these practices could inform estimates of survey scores. Note that the official Teaching Staff and Family Surveys for Self-Assessment must be conducted within one (1) year of your program’s Renewal Materials due date and results of these surveys will be reviewed by an NAEYC Assessor during the site visit for renewal.
• Do not exceed the space provided as you complete each question. Doing so will decrease the user-friendliness of this Annual Report.
• Do not attach evidence to these materials. Simply report on the evidence that you have collected throughout your program’s formal Self-Assessment.

Section 6: FEES FOR NAEYC ACCREDITATION
NAEYC is phasing in an improved fee structure that will better assist programs in long-term budgeting for accreditation costs. Refer to your program’s Valid Until date printed on the NAEYC Accreditation Certificate to determine the fee to include along with the Annual Report. For more information, refer to www.naeyc.org/academy and click on Fees.
Note: Additional fees associated wi
Valid Until Dates January 2016 and Later
$550 10 - 60 children
$650 61 - 120 children
$775 121 - 240 children
$885 241 - 360 children
Add $150 for every additional 120 children.
Note: Programs that successfully maintain accreditation over time will not pay additional renewal fees. The Annual Accreditation fee will be due annually, including on the fifth anniversary of accreditation.
The accreditation fee is calculated based on the number of children enrolled in a program at the time this form is submitted. If the number of children changes for a defined portion of the year (for example, altered program operation during the summer), the program should report the number of children that typically applies throughout the majority of the school year. Programs will be billed for supplemental fees (according to the chart above) if program enrollment is inaccurately reported during the accreditation process. Reference the following rules to determine the number of children that determines the accreditation fee for your program.
• Each child is only counted once. • Each child of eligible age (birth through kindergarten) that is part of an eligible group is counted. All eligible groups MUST be included in your
program’s NAEYC Accreditation. Note that groups are not eligible if more than 50% of the children are school age (first grade and beyond). • For programs with hourly care or drop-in care groups in which the total number of children enrolled in the group exceeds the maximum
licensing capacity of the group, only the maximum licensing capacity of the group is counted. Add the maximum licensing capacity of any drop-in care groups to the total number of children, if applicable.
Age Category Number of Children Enrolled
Infant (birth to 15 months)
Toddler/Twos (12 to 36 months)
Preschool (30 months to 5 years)
Kindergarten (public or private)
TOTAL Number of Children:
This form will not be processed until NAEYC receives the applicable fee.
Late Fee
If the program submits the Annual Report up to one (1) calendar month past the accreditation anniversary due date, a late fee of $150 must be included with the payment. Please note that this form will not be accepted unless NAEYC receives the applicable fee within one (1) calendar month past the accreditation anniversary due date.
I acknowledge that this form is being submitted up to one (1) calendar month past the accreditation anniversary due date and the $150 late fee is included with the payment.
