In this study the validity of an accreditation system that applies a uniform standard to measure various early childhood education facilities in Indonesia was examined. Accordingly, recommendations for future accreditation systems are proposed.  The subjects of the study included formal and non-formal early childhood education facilities under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The Ministry’s policy documents, statistics, and related laws and regulations were analyzed to determine the establishment criteria for early childhood education in Indonesia, and the characteristics and results of the accreditation system.  The analysis revealed that many formal and non-formal education Facilities were rated inadequate TT because of the flexible criteria for establishing early childhood education and varying services in the facilities. However, these Facilities were reviewed uniformly with similar criteria in the accreditation process. Furthermore, parents did not base their selection of early childhood education facilities on accreditation results because TT-rated facilities were still operating post-accreditation.
