Keystone STARS
Keystone STARS is a quality rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-age childcare. A Keystone STARS designation informs parents that their children are in a safe, respectful environment in which they are learning new things every day to support their current and future successes in school and in life.Since the inception of the Keystone STARS program in 2002, the Performance Standards have been the bedrock of the program. The standards are guided by the principle that quality early learning programs are the foundation for children’s success, and investment in the early care and education of Pennsylvania’s children is an investment in the future. Therefore, the Keystone STARS Performance Standards reflect research-based practices to improve outcomes for children.
Early learning programs participating in Keystone STARS can earn a quality rating score from a STAR 1 to a STAR 4. At each level, programs must meet certain quality standards in four key areas: staff education, learning environment, leadership/management, and family/community partnerships. The higher the STAR level, the higher the quality standards.
High quality early learning programs will offer your child a stimulating, nurturing environment which should help prepare them for school and to reach their full potential. Quality environments provide a stimulating, loving atmosphere in which children will thrive. The Performance Standards for Keystone STARS quality-rated providers are guided by the principle that qualkutt early learning programs are the doundartion for children’s success, and investment in the early care and edcation of Pennsylvania’s children is an investment in the future.
Curriculum
At Busy Little Beavers we know that each child is an individual, and learns through different methods, and at different rates. This is why when educating young children, it is important to use a curriculum that both challenges and individualizes each child.
The Creative Curriculum is our curriculum of choice because it incorporates social/emotional, physical, cognitive, language and literacy, math, science & technology, social studies, arts, and English language acquisition- every dimension necessary for your child to learn successfully’.
