🍎 Did you know? Children in NAEYC-accredited early learning programs are nearly twice as likely to be rated “proficient” or “school ready!” That’s why the Little Rock School District’s Early Childhood Program is proud to pursue NAEYC accreditation — raising the bar for kindergarten readiness, educational equity, and lifelong success. ✨ Want your child to start strong?

A colorful flyer promoting the Little Rock School District's Early Childhood Program and its pursuit of NAEYC Early Learning Program accreditation. At the top left, a circular blue badge reads "Early Learning Program – NAEYC Accredited – naeyc.org." The main headline reads, "The Little Rock School District is thrilled to pursue NAEYC Early Learning Program accreditation!"  Below that, key information is highlighted in a yellow section:  "Nearly twice as many children from NAEYC-accredited programs were rated as 'proficient' or 'school ready' compared to students attending other programs."  "NAEYC accreditation significantly boosts kindergarten readiness, with children in accredited programs showing superior cognitive, language, and social skills."  "Accredited centers close achievement gaps, ensuring equal performance regardless of income or ethnicity."  "NAEYC-accredited programs also elevate the early learning workforce by fostering highly trained staff and improving overall quality of care, leading to economic benefits such as increased labor force participation."  At the bottom is the website link: "www.LRSD.org/EarlyChildhood"  Centered at the bottom is the circular Little Rock School District Early Childhood Centers logo, which features a white hand and five colorful stars. Below the logo are small photos of smiling children and teachers.  The bottom yellow banner reads: "Better outcomes for: Children • Teachers • Families • Communities."  To the right of the text is a photo of a child with blonde hair painting with watercolors and making colorful handprints on paper.
Un volante colorido que promueve el Programa de Educación Temprana del Distrito Escolar de Little Rock y su búsqueda de la acreditación del Programa de Aprendizaje Temprano de NAEYC. En la esquina superior izquierda hay un emblema circular azul que dice: "Programa de Aprendizaje Temprano – Acreditado por NAEYC – naeyc.org."  El encabezado principal dice: "¡El Distrito Escolar de Little Rock se complace en buscar la acreditación del Programa de Aprendizaje Temprano de NAEYC!"  Debajo, en una sección amarilla, se destacan los siguientes puntos:  "Casi el doble de niños de programas acreditados por NAEYC fueron calificados como 'competentes' o 'listos para la escuela' en comparación con estudiantes de otros programas."  "La acreditación de NAEYC mejora significativamente la preparación para el kínder, con niños que muestran habilidades cognitivas, lingüísticas y sociales superiores."  "Los centros acreditados cierran brechas de rendimiento académico, garantizando igualdad en el desempeño sin importar ingresos o etnia."  "Los programas acreditados también elevan la calidad del personal educativo, promoviendo capacitación especializada y mejorando el cuidado general, lo que contribuye a beneficios económicos como mayor participación en la fuerza laboral."  Abajo aparece el enlace del sitio web: www.LRSD.org/EarlyChildhood  En el centro inferior está el logotipo circular del Programa de Centros de Educación Temprana del Distrito Escolar de Little Rock, que muestra una mano blanca con cinco estrellas de colores. Debajo del logotipo hay pequeñas fotos de niños y maestros sonrientes.  Una franja amarilla al pie del volante dice: "Mejores resultados para: Niños • Maestros • Familias • Comunidades."  A la derecha del texto principal hay una foto de una niña rubia pintando con acuarelas y haciendo huellas de manos coloridas en una hoja de papel.
