Now that you have your first star, we have some brand-new tools that will support you in continuing your Step Up To Quality journey.
Even though you are not required to increase your rating beyond a one-star at this time, there are many benefits to advancing your program’s level of quality! Some of them include:
- The amount of reimbursement you receive for each child in your program increases with each star your program earns.
- Staff members in SUTQ-rated programs are proud of their work and accomplishments, resulting in lower turnover.
- Parents are intentional about choosing quality settings for children and your SUTQ star rating is a sign of your commitment to provide quality child care. This increases your enrollment!
Check out our new online tools for two-star and three-star ratings, along with our other free resources. 4C for Children coaches are also here to help. Contact coaching@4cforchildren.org with questions.
