NPC is the national-level body under the Sri Lankan Preschools Federation that manages, regulates, and supports preschools across the country through curriculum development, certification, and training.
No, NPC operates as a registered NGO. It collaborates with government institutions but functions independently to uphold preschool education standards nationwide.
Any registered preschool in Sri Lanka, as well as individual educators and early childhood development centers, can apply for membership or certification through NPC.
NPC provides curriculum guidelines, teacher training, certification programs, quality audits, administrative support, and access to national preschool resources.
Preschools must apply through the NPC portal, meet the required standards, and undergo a formal review and evaluation process before receiving national certification.
While not legally mandatory, NPC certification is recognized as a national quality benchmark and is highly recommended for credibility and access to official resources.
NPC offers continuous professional development, training workshops, updated curriculum material, and recognition for teacher excellence.
