Preschool in Norwalk — FAQ
What accreditation should I look for in Norwalk preschools?
NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation is the gold standard — it requires programs to meet rigorous standards for curriculum, teacher qualifications, and family engagement, and fewer than 10% of programs nationally earn it. In CT, all preschools must be licensed by CT OEC (portal.ct.gov/oec). Beyond licensing, look for NAEYC accreditation, state quality rating designations, and staff with early childhood education degrees. Ask about teacher credentials during your visit.
