The National AfterSchool Association, formerly the National
School-Age Care Alliance, is once again offering an accreditation
process after a one-year pause to catch up with pending applications
and make some modifications in their process. They began accepting
applications again in September 2004. Although complete details on NAA
program improvement and accreditation products and services are not
currently posted on their website, they may be adding that information
soon.
