April 21, 2025 // Franchising.com // BALTIMORE – Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, proudly announces six of its corporate schools have earned Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Accreditation. This prestigious recognition underscores each school’s unwavering commitment to providing top-tier education and care, surpassing state licensing requirements through excellence in classroom environment, teacher-child interactions, and operational standards.
Achieving MSDE Accreditation signifies that these schools uphold the highest standards in early childhood education, ensuring a nurturing, high-quality learning environment that fosters academic and personal growth. The accreditation also enables each school to access additional funding to maintain its commitment to top-tier education.
Supporting schools on their accreditation journey is Kristen Miller, Celebree School’s Director of Education, who has led the brand’s accreditation efforts since 2016. Celebree’s proprietary Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) and internal Accreditation Brand Standards ensure schools are well-prepared for the rigorous evaluation process.
“Earning state accreditation is a testament to the dedication of our educators and thriving learning communities within our Celebree Schools,” said Miller. “Achieving this distinction requires an extraordinary level of commitment, effort, and passion for early childhood education. We are incredibly proud of these schools for setting the standard of excellence for young learners and their families.”
With all Celebree Schools in Maryland on track to achieve accreditation by the end of the year and more than 20 franchise locations either nationally accredited or in progress, Celebree School continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in high-quality early childhood education.
Beyond the prestige of accreditation, these schools gain access to expanded opportunities, including eligibility for military family tuition assistance through Child Care Aware – furthering Celebree’s mission to make high-quality early childhood education accessible to all families.
With programs available for children six weeks to 12 years old, Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™. The brand was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Curriculums are designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about the world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities.
