Anne Arundel Community College’s Child Development
Center recently was awarded the highest rating, a Maryland EXCELS Level
5, from the Maryland State Department of Education indicating
high-quality education for preschool-aged children.
According to the Maryland EXCELS website, www.marylandexcels.org,
“Advertising an EXCELS level demonstrates to parents and the community
that you are committed to excellence and are continually working toward
greater achievements.”
Maryland
EXCELS is the state’s new Quality Rating and Improvement System that
awards ratings to child care and public prekindergarten programs that
meet standards over and above those required by state licensing
regulations and public school requirements. The Maryland EXCELS program
ratings include licensing and compliance, staffing and professional
development, rating scales and accreditation, developmentally
appropriate learning and practice, and administrative policies and
practices.
AACC’s

Department of Education and the National Association for the Education
of Young Children. It recently expanded its age range to serve 2 to
