WHY IS A 4 STAR KEYSTONE RATING IMPORTANT?
The Lighthouse is a Keystone 4-STAR childcare facility! Keystone STARS (Standards, Training/Professional Development, Assistance, Resources, and Supports) is a quality rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-aged childcare. A Keystone STARS designation informs parents that their children are in a safe, respectful environment in which they are learning new things every day to support their current and future successes in school and life.
High-quality early learning programs will offer your child a stimulating, nurturing environment, which prepare them for school to reach their full potential. Quality environments provide a stimulating, loving atmosphere in which children thrive. The Performance Standards for Keystone STARS quality-rated providers are guided by the principle that quality early learning programs are the foundation for children’s success, and an investment in the early care and education of Pennsylvania’s children is an investment in the future.
