Need Child Care?
Early learning programs help provide positive outcomes for children and support the workforce. They give families choices for quality early education at home, in community programs, or in school for part or all of the day.
What questions should you ask?
The curriculum a program uses should offer age appropriate activities, be play-based and allow for exploration, creativity, and inquiry.
Where can you find quality?
Keystone STARS is a voluntary program that seeks to improve, support, and recognize the continuous quality improvement efforts of early learning programs in meeting Keystone STARS Performance Standards.
Who can help you?
Now that you know how to determine if a program is high-quality, it is time to find programs that meet your location, time, and transportation needs.
How can you pay for it?
You found a high-quality child care program and are ready to enroll your child, but how do you pay for it? Do you qualify for publicly funded programs?
