The Learning Collaborative is proud be be a 5 Star Center, as deemed by the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education.
From the NCDHHS Division of Child Development & Early Education, ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Services/Licensing/Star-Rated-License
In September 2000, the Division issued star rated licenses to child care centers and family child care homes meeting all minimum child care requirements as well as those choosing to meet higher standards. Under the original star rated license, facilities were evaluated on three components:
Compliance History
Before evaluating a program to determine star rating, license programs are monitored to ensure they meet minimum standards. A facility's compliance history score is determined to show the program meets a certain percentage of the minimum standards for licensed facilities. For licenses or Notice of Compliance issued to a child care facility, the facility must maintain a compliance history of at least seventy-five percent (75%) for the past 18 months or during the length of time the facility has operated, whichever is less. The Division calculates the visit compliance score by taking the total possible points for items monitored at a visit and calculating the percentage of compliance based upon the actual points awarded. The compliance history of a facility is calculated by averaging each visit compliance score over 18 months.
Components: Staff Education and Program Standards.
In 2005, the Division changed the way facilities earned stars in order to more accurately reflect indicators of a program's quality. Currently, facilities are evaluated on two components:
