Kids Klub North Smithfield has earned national re-accreditation from the Council on Accreditation (COA). Accreditation provides a framework to manage resources, offer best practices, and strive for continuous improvement. This supports Kids Klub’s sustainability, encourages growth, and helps us achieve measurable results.

To earn COA accreditation, Kids Klub conducted a thorough self-assessment and evaluate of our program against recognized standards of best practice. This allows us to focus on areas where we can improve.

Being accredited means that a third party (such as COA) has determined through a rigorous assessment of evidence that our program meets all the most important standards… that we follow best practice and provide quality services. It is a badge of honor.
