STARS letter to families
.....St. Lukes Day School & Kindergarten is proud to announce that it has achieved a Star One in Keystone STARS. Keystone STARS is Pennsylvanias voluntary program for improving the quality of child care.
.....Through Keystone STARS a child care provider works to increase its standard of care above the states
minimum health and safety licensing regulations. Research shows that quality child care increases a childs
learning skills and school readiness level.
.....St. Lukes Day School & Kindergarten goal is to provide the best child care possible and Keystone STARS provides Standards Training Assistance Resources and Supports (STARS) to help us meet this goal.
.....STARS establishes a quality rating system beginning with the Start with Stars level an progresses from a STAR One to a STAR Four designation. Each STAR designation has its own research-based performance standards in three areas: staff education the learning environment and administration.
.....As we move from Start with Stars up to a Star Four the standards in these three areas increase. A STAR Four designation is similar to meeting accreditation standards sat by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
