Hi Rosia -

Congratulations for everything you're already doing! Sounds like you're very involved in quality. Probably the biggest benefit to you to becoming accredited is intrinsic - even providers who are highly qualified and don't believe the "need" to be accredited tell NAFCC that they felt a real sense of accomplishment when they got their decision from NAFCC. Many parents are beginning to inquire about accreditation and many providers like that. Because accreditation is a national process, it is an indication that you've met standards that are typically above state minimum rules and regulations.

Maybe some of the accredited providers will also have reasons they can share about the benefits of becoming accredited.
