Accreditation

CARF is an independent, not-for-profit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.

The Nanaimo Child Development Centre has maintained CARF accreditation since 2005. This ongoing accreditation reflects our commitment to service excellence, strong governance, and continuous quality improvement in support of children and families in our community.
