How will number of points and number of stars be determined?
Data on educational qualifications of director, teachers, and family child care providers for each program will be submitted to DWD by The Registry. It would be in the best interest of each program to have their qualified staff current on The Registry. Determination of points for “learning environment/curriculum” and “business Practices” will require an on-site visit to each licensed program. Some data will be available electronically (e.g. accredited programs and food program participation). DWD’s child care provider file will be the source of all program data, and DWD will be responsible for using the accumulated data to determine the number of stars that each program receives.
