What accreditation should I look for in Greenwich preschools?

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.
