Local preschool continues to be recognized among top early childhood education programs in the U.S.

Sewell, N.J. - August 30, 2018 – While The Malvern School of Washington Township prepares for the upcoming new school year, it has announced it has earned re-accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the nation’s largest early childhood accrediting organization. Less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools and kindergartens achieve this recognition, which has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. This marks the second time The Malvern School of Washington Township has earned this honor. “NAEYC Accreditation helps families recognize quality early learning programs and feel comfortable knowing that their children are receiving a high-quality, research-based education that will prepare them for future success,” stated the association.

Additionally, individual classrooms received scores of between 94 and 98 percent, further demonstrating excellence in action. “Congratulations to our team in Washington Township for making The Malvern School one of the most highly regarded programs locally and nationally and – most importantly – making it a place where children learn and feel loved,” Seal added.
