Growing Days in Hialeah Maintains APPLE Accreditation for Excellence in Early Childhood Education

Growing Days, a local early learning center, continues its commitment to high-quality education, maintaining its APPLE Accreditation since December 2017. This accreditation places the Hialeah facility among a select group of early learning programs recognized for their dedication to educational excellence.

The Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment (APPLE) program is a national accreditation for early learning centers. It stands as one of the largest accrediting agencies in the field, with over 1,000 accredited programs nationwide. In Florida, APPLE accreditation is accepted as one of the state's Gold Seal Quality programs.

The Florida Legislature established the Gold Seal Quality Care program in 1996. This program acknowledges childcare facilities and family day care homes that achieve accreditation from recognized agencies, ensuring they meet high standards for the care and supervision of children. Growing Days also participates in the School Readiness Program, further demonstrating its dedication to preparing young children for future academic success.

Studies consistently show that high-quality early learning centers positively affect children's physical, cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional development. Growing Days' continued accreditation and participation in state programs underscore its role in providing these foundational benefits to Hialeah's youngest residents.
