According to Debora Matthews , CEO of The Children's Center, "We are very proud to be reaccredited by the Council. The rigorous COA accreditation process lets our clients, our donors, financial supporters and our community know that we provide the highest standard of service along with comfort of knowing we are a well managed and responsible organization."

COA reaccreditation is an objective and reliable verification that provides confidence and support to an organization's service recipients, board members, staff and community partners.  The process involves a detailed review and analysis of both an organization's administrative operations and its service delivery practices.  All are "measured" against national standards of best practice.  These standards emphasize services that are accessible, appropriate, culturally responsive, evidence-based, and outcomes-oriented. In addition, they confirm that the services are provided by a skilled and supported workforce and that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.

In this tough and challenging economic climate a lot of hard choices have been made when it comes to government spending. Hopefully the accelerated reaccreditation by COA will help make those difficult decisions easier, especially as it relates to the delivery of services to children. The Children's Center of Wayne County is located in midtown Detroit and celebrated its 80^th anniversary of rich history providing stellar service to children and families in the metropolitan Detroit area.
