🌟 What APPLE Accreditation Means for Your Child

At Shining Stars Preschool Academy, we’re proud to be APPLE Accredited – a prestigious recognition that reflects our dedication to providing exceptional early childhood education. We were first accredited in 2007.

​

Why Is APPLE Accreditation Important?

​

APPLE (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment) Accreditation is more than just a certificate. It represents our ongoing commitment to excellence, safety, and quality in everything we do.

​

Here’s what APPLE Accreditation means for your family:

​

✅ Exceeds State Standards

APPLE requires programs to meet quality benchmarks that go beyond what’s required by state licensing. That means your child benefits from a learning environment that’s held to a higher standard.

​

🔍 A Rigorous, Professional Review

Becoming accredited is no easy task. We completed a comprehensive self-study and participated in an on-site verification visit conducted by early childhood education experts.

​

📚 Focused on Quality

From our diverse library of age-appropriate books to our carefully planned activities, APPLE ensures we’re offering a nurturing and engaging learning environment. Plus, all staff undergo extensive background screenings to keep your child safe.

​

🌱 A Commitment to Continuous Improvement

APPLE Accreditation isn’t a one-time event. It requires regular recertification and random audits, ensuring we stay up-to-date with best practices in early education.

​

🏅 Nationally Recognized

APPLE is recognized across the U.S. and is proudly part of Florida’s Gold Seal of Quality program – a mark of high achievement in early learning.

​

💡 A Proven Benefit for Your Child

Research shows that children in high-quality early education programs are more likely to succeed in school and beyond. With APPLE Accreditation, we’re helping lay the foundation for your child’s lifelong success.

​

We’re honored to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment every day. Thank you for being part of our learning community!
