How will Quality Stars NY benefit my early care and education (ECE) program?
Participating in Quality Stars NY will help your ECE program elevate and maintain the quality of services you provide and will also enable your program to receive supportive services and financial resources. Programs that participate in Quality Stars NY will be eligible for targeted technical assistance (on topics such as conducting self-assessments, participating in an Environmental Rating Scale (ERS), developing quality improvement plans, and so forth) as well as professional development opportunities for your staff. Although these are tough economic times and nothing is certain, we hope to secure funding to make additional financial supports available to participating programs, and are encouraging our funding partners to join us in this effort. Also, we anticipate that when star ratings of programs are publicly available, consumers will have the information they need to choose higher quality services.
