Program Requirements Paper Guidelines HD 422
• Write a paper describing, comparing, and contrasting the structural
qualities of State Licensed (using your home state) and NAEYC accredited
programs. Begin by introducing the requirements to become state licensed
(https://dhr.alabama.gov/child-care/licensing-overview/) and NAEYC accredited.
Compare the two types of programs structural qualities. Be sure to address the
required group size, child-adult ratios, education/requirements of teachers and
directors, as well as discipline and behavior management guidelines.
• Using the information you gathered from the Child Survey assignment, find a
State Licensed and a NAEYC accredited program in your area. State the names of
each program in the paper. Compare the 2 program’s websites and information
given.
