What are the benefits of becoming a Gold Seal provider?
There are several benefits associated with the Gold Seal Quality Care Program: • The Gold Seal Quality Care designation represents an increased quality of child care and can serve as a marketing tool for your program letting parents know that you have exceeded the state’s minimum licensing standards. • Gold Seal Quality Care child care providers who participate in the Office of Early Learning – School Readiness Program can qualify for an increased reimbursement rate. For more information on the Gold Seal Quality Care Program reimbursement rate, contact your local Office of Early Learning coalition by calling 850-922-4200 or visit them at www.floridajobs.org/earlylearning. • Gold Seal Quality Care Program child care providers may qualify for two tax exemptions associated with the Gold Seal Quality Care Program designation.
