Child Care Pursues STAR Three Designation (Posted 1/10/06)
The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Office of Children, Youth & Families recognizes child care providers that exceed state health and safety licensing requirements through its Keystone Stars program.

The quality performance standards at each successive level of the Keystone Stars program are research-based, and linked to improved outcomes for children, in areas that affect the quality of child care: staff education; learning environment; and administration. At Seton Center, we endorse these standards and strive for the continuous quality improvement they promote.

We were very pleased that Seton Center achieved STAR Two certification in 2005, and are now progressing efficiently toward the STAR Three level.
