Step Up to Star Quality!
Participating licensed child
care facilities can earn quality ratings of Two, Three, Four,
and Five Stars. As programs complete the requirements for higher
ratings, they will receive Quality Step System certificates and
can use their new star ratings in advertising and marketing.
Facilities serving families
eligible for child care subsidies, that earn higher ratings, can
receive quality bonuses from the Mississippi Office for Children
and Youth, which administers the Mississippi Child Care
Assistance Program.
Participating child care
facilities will make improvements in these areas:
Facilities will be subject to
scheduled monitoring visits and to evaluations by standardized
early childhood program evaluation methods.
