ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI), a distance training institution dedicated exclusively to the child care industry, announces today that it has been accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
The Commission’s decision to accredit CCEI was made after careful consideration of CCEI’s extensive Self-Evaluation Report, feedback from the Examining Committee’s on-site visit, and evaluation of CCEI’s curriculum by subject matter experts. DETC accreditation provides students, educators, institutions, and the public a reputable indicator of CCEI’s continued commitment to the education and professional development of teachers and management staff.
“Gaining accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council is a testament to the high quality of CCEI professional development programs and the integrity of CCEI’s business standards. Accreditation empowers CCEI to continue providing child care staff with the highest quality and most relevant training in the industry,” said Maria C. Taylor, President/Chief Executive Officer of CCEI.
