Keystone Stars Celebration
March 1, 2010
Dear Next Level Development Parents,
We are very proud to announce that our center has reached STAR Two in Keystone STARS! Please see the STAR Two sign on our front door.
Keystone STARS is:
· Pennsylvania's program to promote continuous quality improvement in early learning and school age environments.
o Quality environments help children to develop in ways that foster success in schools and life.
· An initiative with the research-based Performance Standards as its foundation.
o The standards are tiered in levels that range from Start with STARS to STAR 4.
· An important part of Pennsylvania's growing early learning system.
o Keystone STARS works with DPW certified programs, family providers, school-aged programs, Head Start, school districts, and accrediting bodies.
· A valuable tool to increase parental and community awareness of the importance of quality early learning.
o Keystone STARS is an easily recognizable indication that a program is working on continuous quality improvement.
Enjoy celebrating with us on Thursday, March 25th!
Parents- Start your day with coffee and a muffin at the Next Level Café.
Kids- Have fun with Jolly Holly the clown at 10:00am.
Staff- Enjoy an Italian-style catered lunch.
PLUS, there is more…
We received a Keystone STARS Merit Award to help provide the funding to build a new playground on May 15th at Next Level Development! Please take a look at the picture of the new playground displayed in our lobby.
So, please mark your calendar for May 15th! We are reaching out to our Next Level Development families and friends to participate in a Community Build Day. We are going to build the playground ourselves for our children!
