Top honors for Early Childhood Education

EVIT's Early Childhood Education program received national accreditation recently from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). EVIT, in partnership with the Maricopa County Head Start program, proved to house a top-notch program that will remain accredited for the next five years.

EVIT partners with Head Start to provide young children of low-income families with educational experiences, as well as promote health and social and emotional competence. EVIT is a Head Start site, and EVIT students in the Early Childhood Education Program are able to get hands-on experience working with the Head Start children as part of their curriculum. The Head Start children benefit from the additional one-on-one time with the high school students, who act as positive role models, and the high school students gain experience in their chosen field.

Congrats to everyone involved in the program!
