 The Value of STARS |
Choosing quality early education and child care is a big decision. As a parent, you want your child to be safe and happy. You want his individual needs met and . A quality early childhood education program encourages learning through activities and exploration. How do you know the provider you selected is going above and beyond their minimum licensing requirements to deliver first-rate learning experiences? Look to the stars, Keystone STARS.
Recognizing the need to strengthen school readiness and positive outcomes for young children, Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare introduced Keystone STARS in 2002 to initiate a higher standard for early childhood education providers. The program provides resources and support to providers as they work toward continuous quality improvement. Lehigh Valley Children's Centers (LVCC) has participated in the STARS program since its inception.
Ranging from STAR 1 to STAR 4, each level of the program progressively builds onto the previous level. Participating providers are evaluated on three key areas - the staff, the learning environment, and the operation of the facility. Moving up in the ranks can be difficult due to the high performance standards required within each area.
According to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality, a Keystone STARS facility:- provides a Department of Public Welfare Certificate of Compliance for Centers or registration for Family Day Care Homes at each center;
- is a comfortable place where your child can explore and learn;
- offers laughing, reading, and talking to help your child build good language skills;
- hires teachers who continually learn new ways to help your child succeed;
- is a safe, healthy and exciting place;
- offers music, art, science, and play activities that increase school readiness;
- provides an environment where your child will feel good about him/herself;
- encourages family involvement;
- provides teachers who listen to children and parents; and
- offers children the opportunity to have fun together while being respectful of each other.*

Feed those brains!
Did you know that 90% of a child's brain size and connections are developed by age five? In fact, babies are building important brain connections before they are even born!
This rapid brain development makes the first five years of a child's life so critical to their future learning and success for life. Let's do it right the first time by providing our young children with good health, safe homes, and quality early learning opportunities! To celebrate Pennsylvania's Promise for Children month, learn more about how we can all help children's healthy development.*
