Our sites are nationally accredited because we strongly believe in the importance of quality. At a minimum, theprogram you choose should be state licensed (in Rhode Island, this is DHS). We believe in doing more than the minimum! We voluntarily choose to make improvements to meet higher standards.
To become nationally accredited, our centers are evaluated by a nationally-recognized outside agency. EnrichEd strives to have all of their sites earn national accreditation. We pursue national accreditation from Council on Accreditation (COA).
Accreditation provides an independent and objective verification against standards of best practice.
COA Accreditation standards are field-informed and sit upon a foundation of research and professional literature. This ensures that the standards remain rigorous yet practical, reflecting current trends and best practices in the social sector.
