Five Stars Ratings
Five Stars for Kids was established to improve the quality of Hillsborough's early childhood education programs, to provide parents with an easy-to-use tool to identify and select quality child care programs, and to provide financial incentives and assistance to programs to maintain and/or improve the quality of the services they deliver. Participation in Five Stars for Kids is voluntary and open to all school readiness providers.
The program's day to day activities are evaluated by trained observers using the Environment rating scale (ERS) which measures program quality in an objective manner. For more information on understanding the Five Stars for Kids Program and its ratings parents may download the short publication Five Stars for Kids: A Parent's Primer.
