NEW 5 STAR Step Up System requires you make a decision on curriculum and assessment
If you haven't reviewed the NEW 5 star SUTQ domains, you really need to. At each star level you will be asked to begin a journey of choosing, training staff and implementing a curriculum that aligns to Ohio's Early Childhood Content Standards.
School Districts are beginning to look at preschool programs and asking why aren't kids ready for kindergarten? What will you say?
To prepare you (director, staff or program owner) the CCRC is offering a full day conference on curriculum and assessment. During this day directors will be given ways to make these changes, teachers will see how to use curriculum and how assessment informs curriculum. You cannot RUN from curriculum and assessment anymore!
A curriculum is NOT:
- Your Daily Class Schedule
- the boxed curriculum that has never been opened
- flashcards, worksheets or TV

Step Up to Quality Marketing Transition
Typically, whenever a new program achieves a star rating, that program receives a media kit and a SUTQ outdoor display banner, in order to share the good news with the community and help spread the word about SUTQ. Because of recent high demand and the transition of the system from a three (3) star to a five (5) star system - marketing materials will not be available until the transition is complete.
ODJFS is asking for your patience as new banners advertising the fiv  e (5) star system are printed. You will receive both a banner and a media kit shortly, just as soon as the five (5) star system launches.

Are you updated in Lorain County's ALERT FIND system?
When completing the form only list the director or main contact of the program, NOT all staff!!
Ohio's Emergency Email and Wireless Network
ALERT FIND is an Electronic Emergency Notification System - where in the event of an emergency you would receive an alert via email, phone or text message. Lorain County's emergency management director Tom Kelley did a Tornado Drill Test to the child care program list he has used in the past and 60 of the alerts bounced. That means that child care providers have made changes and those changes have not been shared with emergency management officials. 
In an effort to bring the list up to date and to make sure that in an emergency (tornado, flood, national emergency, etc.) you as a child care business are notified directly. PLEASE click on the link below and complete the brief form and return it to Tom Kelley Tkelley@loraincounty.usWhen completing the form only list the director or main contact of the program, NOT all staff!!
