SMART START IS PROUD TO BE A 3 STAR PROGRAM!

Your child is enrolled, or you may be considering enrolling your child, in a learning and development program with a level of quality that exceeds Ohio’s child care licensing standards. 

   High-quality learning and development programs are important because early experiences last a lifetime.  


A STEP UP TO QUALITY THREE-STAR RATED PROGRAM MEANS:

The administrator and teachers have higher educational qualifications.

The administrator and 50 percent of lead teachers have at least an associate’s degree or equivalent. These qualifications benefit your child’s development and learning.  

The administrator and teachers complete 20 hours of specialized training every two years.

The administrator and teaching staff are committed to expanding their knowledge and skills to better support your child’s development and learning.  

The lead teacher uses results from a classroom self-assessment to improve classroom practice.

The program evaluates the classrooms and teacher/child interactions to make sure the environment supports children and their development. Programs can then make changes to better support your child’s growth and learning. 

Relationship building with families is valued.

Teachers and families work together to create goals for children and share information about their child’s progress. The program offers at least one event to involve families in their child’s learning and development.  

The program supports and values employees

At least two of the following are provided to staff: health insurance, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, discount on child care, paid professional development, retirement, flexible spending account, one hour of paid planning time weekly, paid holidays or life insurance.
