ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – The Rocky River Early
Childhood Center Preschool has received a Five-Star Step-Up To Quality Award
from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). Participating programs can earn a
one to five-star rating.
SUTQ is a five-star
quality rating and improvement system that is administered by the ODE and the
Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. SUTQ recognizes and promotes
learning and development programs that meet quality program standards that
exceed licensing health and safety regulations. The program standards are based
on national research identifying standards which lead to improved outcomes for
children.
“We are proud to receive a five-star recognition,” said Jennifer Norman, Executive Director of Pupil Services. “This rating could not be achieved without enthusiastic students, a passionate and dedicated staff and supportive families. Our staff works hard every day to ensure our youngest learners are provided a high-quality learning environment.”
Schools that earn a five-star rating go above and beyond minimum licensing standards. Star-rated programs lay the foundation for children’s learning and development and build skills that are important for success in school and in life.
