Growing in Faith Daycare - Accreditation

Growing In Faith is a part of the Keystone STARS program.  STARS is a Pennsylvania voluntary program for improving the quality of childcare.  Through Keystone STARS, a childcare provider works to increase its standard of care above the state’s minimum health and safety licensing regulations.  Research shows that quality childcare increases a child’s learning skills and school readiness level.   Growing In Faith’s goal is to provide the best childcare possible, and Keystone STARS provides Standards, Training, Assistance, Resources, and Supports (STARS) to help meet this goal.  STARS establishes a quality rating system beginning with Start With STARS level and 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.
