Keystone Stars informational brochure. (Download English, Descargar Español)
Current research tells us that the quality of the experiences your child has during his/her early years has a significant and lasting impact on later success in school. These experiences can occur in your own home and in situations outside the home, like child care or nursery school programs.
In Pennsylvania, the State Office of Child Development and Early Learning has made a commitment to support children’s early learning with a new quality improvement initiative called Keystone STARS, to help certified and registered child care and education programs meet the challenge of providing quality early care and education.
There are other ways that programs can achieve standards of quality or receive certification or accreditation as well. Some of these are certification through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), National After School Association (NAA), National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC) programs, Montessori affiliation or accreditation, and National Head Start standards.
