What Is The Importance Of Licensing And Accreditation

Licensing and accreditation is a great way to show that you have a quality program. Families are looking for high quality childcare because it is an important way for us to ensure they will be raising healthy children. We need to renew our license on a yearly basis with our DHS supervisor and they review our health policies, staff trainings, infection control procedures along with the emergency procedures. Being licensed does not mean you are providing quality care it means you have minimum standards to meet.
When you become accredited that means we voluntarily measure up to national standards not just the minum licensing standards. Being a part of Keystone Stars is a voluntary program that shows we are looking to improve the quality care
