FL Academy Accreditations

 Our Accreditations

At FL Academy, we strive for excellence. We require that all our educators and our academy director maintain their CE (continuing education) current and up-to-date. Our many professional accreditations give you assurance and peace of mind since you'll know that your child's education is in good hands.

One of the national programs we're accredited in include FACCM for APPLE (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment). This is a national early learning program accreditation that recognizes early learning centers for operating high-quality programs. Research shows a direct link between a high-quality early learning experience and a child's future success.

Another program we're accredited in is Gold Seal. In 1996, the Florida Legislature established the Gold Seal Quality Care program to acknowledge childcare facilities and family daycare homes that are accredited by nationally recognized agencies and whose standards reflect quality in the level of care and supervision provided to children. Accreditation as a Gold Seal Quality Care program demonstrates a level of educational professionalism and commitment to quality standards that surpass the broad benchmarks of health and safety.

These programs go beyond the required standards that all child care facilities must comply with as they continue to pursue excellence. The FCCPSA joins with the child care program with an in-depth self-study program based on established national standards. This is combined with a detailed inspection process that will guide the center to meeting the high standards necessary to become a Gold Seal Quality Care program.

These accrediting agencies follow the utmost standards that often go above and beyond our state's minimum licensing requirements for childcare centers, and they're by no means easy to qualify for. This is why we pride ourselves on receiving these seals of approval each year.
