Joan Mendel and Robin Malcolm are Early Childhood Consultants.

They have both worked as Validators and Assessors for 30 plus years with NAEYC and have a deep understanding and experience with the Accreditation process. Each have scheduled and conducted over 1000 NAEYC site visits. In February of 2022, after NAEYC's decision to bring the position in house full time, they conducted their last onsite assessment visits for NAEYC.

And here they are now......still passionate about NAEYC Accreditation and now a team that supports programs in their specific challenges and needs they face in the NAEYC accreditation process.
