                      TRIBUTE TO LARGO KINDERCARE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID W. JOLLY

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2016

  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Largo KinderCare 
Learning Center for receiving national accreditation.
  The KinderCare Learning Center has recently been granted 
accreditation by the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care 
and Education Programs, a leading professional organization in the 
early education industry for children, between two months old and five 
years old.
  Accreditation is distinct from licensing as the latter only ensures a 
basic threshold level of a center's ability to provide whereas 
accreditation enables the center to provide high quality early learning 
programs. Less than ten percent of programs receive accreditation in 
the nation, which makes this very important for Pinellas County.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Largo KinderCare Learning Center 
for the education they provide to our children. A national accredited 
center is very important to Pinellas and I ask that this body join me 
in recognizing them for their efforts.
