Program of Distinction in Early Childhood Education (PPK - 1^st Grade)

The Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) recently recognized the TASIS School in Dorado, Puerto Rico, for its Program of Distinction in Early Childhood Education. TASIS Dorado is the first school in Puerto Rico and the U.S. to receive this recognition.

The Middle States Programs of Distinction initiative provides external validation of an accredited school's accomplishments in specific areas of expertise and enables schools to take accreditation to the next level. The review process helps already accredited schools identify strengths and areas for growth and provides inspiration and recommendations for attaining a high quality program.

The Early Childhood Education Program of Distinction recognizes schools that demonstrate dedication to early learning through a rich, child centered philosophy and best practices that focus on exploration, questioning, creativity and social-emotional development, as well as cognitive skills.
