About the Accreditation Faciliation Project
The MN Accreditation Facilitation Project (AFP), a funded initiative supporting programs with services and incentives toward national accreditation, has received increased funding. We are looking for programs in need of support and resources to assist their accreditation endorsement.
This collaborative effort of the MN Association for the Education of Young Children, MN School-Age Care Alliance and MN Licensed Family Child Care Association is known as the Umbrella Strategic Alliance (USA). The USA provides support statewide to family, center and school-age child care programs through 3 tiers of service. Programs or providers interested in receiving tier 3 services should submit an application. 

• Tier 1: Hotline free service available statewide
• Tier 2: Initial visit free service to programs in the 9 county metro area
• Tier 3: In-depth consultation (fee based) Qualifying programs eligible for free consultation and incentive dollars.

Contact the AFP for more information or complete an application to participate.
