The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) is proud to announce both The Weinstein School (Dunwoody, GA campus) and The Sunshine School (Marietta, GA campus) have earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) - the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children. This recognition solidifies the MJCCA’s status as a national leader in delivering high-quality care and education for Georgia’s youngest learners.

In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 6,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all childcare centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.

"We are immensely proud and honored to receive this accolade for our educational programs. This achievement reflects the unwavering commitment and hard work of our staff, the exceptional quality of the preschool curriculums, and the unparalleled support from our dedicated parents,” said Kim Sucan, Director of the MJCCA Preschools. “Achieving this milestone emphasizes our continuous commitment to delivering superior education in the Metro Atlanta area for young learners.”

“NAEYC-Accredited programs have committed to a process that takes time, energy and dedication to complete,” states Alissa Mwenelupembe, Senior Director Early Learning Program Accreditation. “Both The Weinstein School and The Sunshine School have demonstrated their commitment to young children and their families.”  

To earn NAEYC Accreditation, the Weinstein School and The Sunshine School went through an extensive self-study process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to verify and ensure that the program met each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria.
