PROVIDER RECOGNITION PROGRAM

Quality in early learning programs was acknowledged by the Early Learning Coalition of Broward County, Inc. and the Wachovia Foundation through a new Provider Recognition Program. On April 11th, early care and education providers with Gold Seal designations were invited to participate in a kick-off ceremony at the Coalition Board meeting and presented Certificates of Recognition. Gold Seal designation demonstrates a commitment to quality, as those provider who have the designation are accredited by nationally recognized agencies and follow standards that reflect quality in areas such as level of care and supervision provided to children. The Coalition and the Wachovia Foundation are dedicated to continually celebrating and growing quality in Broward’s early care and education system.
