The Goals of Step Up To Quality• Improve the quality of early care and education settings in order to support children’s optimal

development and learning.

• Provide parents with an easy to use tool to assist them in selecting quality early care and education programs for their children.

How your Programs can “Step Up” Programs planning to apply for a star rating in Step Up to Quality must have a compliance history free from serious risk non-compliances during the past 12 months. In addition, they have not received a letter of intent to revoke their child care license in the past 48 months.

our Role as approved TrainersSpecialized professional development matters because research

and best practices are always emerging. Therefore, working with children requires us to close the gap between what we know and

what we do in order to support their development and learning.

Ohio’s Quality Rating System for Licensed

Centers Goes Statewide!

Step Up to Quality (SUTQ) is a voluntary child care rating system designed to support and recognize early learning and before and after school programs licensed through Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). Programs that exceed quality benchmarks over and above minimum health and safety standards can earn one, two or three stars. Benchmarks include staff to child ratios, staff education and qualifications, specialized training, administrative practices, and early learning curriculum

Star rated programs are eligible to receive quality achievement award payments.

6

The Purpose of Specialized or STaR training Specialized: for programs to provide support and assist in the implementation of the Early

Learning benchmarks Targeted: to administrators and lead and assistant teachers Approved: by ODJFS specifically for Step Up To Quality Relevant: for administrators and teachers for the age group(s) and/or their job

responsibilities

The Rating SystemThe rating system includes three levels of quality above Ohio’s health and safety licensing standards. Each step builds on the prior step. The tiers consist of both structural and process benchmark indicators based on research.

Benchmarks• Numbers Matter (Ratios)• Qualified Administrators and Teachers Matter (Staff qualifications) • Specialized Professional Development Matters (Training)• Administrative Supports Matter (Human Resource practices)• Children’s Experiences Matter (Curriculum)

For More InformationGwen Moman, Action for Children

Special Note Staff must fulfill their annual training requirement by first taking the required pre-

requisites. Once the pre-requisites are completed (Administrator, Infant/Toddler and Preschool lead and assistant teachers), staff can satisfy their annual training requirement

with any other SUTQ approved training.

ASQ is a low-cost, reliable tool for screening children for developmental delays during the crucial first 5 years of life. Parents complete the simple questionnaire and the results alert professionals when a child needs more in-depth assessment. ASQ offers an attractive balance of reliability, convenience, affordability, and involvement of the family.

One of the biggest benefits of ASQ is the social-emotional screening component. A companion to ASQ is the ASQ: Social/Emotional questionnaire. This questionnaire enables you to take an in-depth look at a child’s social-emotional development. ASQ:SE has all of the same benefits as ASQ and arms you with a tool that can help you identify social and emotional problems in children as early as possible.

If you attend the class you will receive your deposit back at completion. If you do not call and cancel your registration at least 48 hours prior to the start of the course you will NOT receive your deposit back. Credit cards and money orders are not accepted.

Courses with Pre-requisites:Some of our courses have pre-requisites and participants are required to show proof of attendance for those pre-requisites at the door. Action for Children has the right to deny entrance to those without proof of completing required pre-requisites.

15 Minute Grace Period:Action for Children courses start promptly and it is recommended that participants arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to the start to get signed-in. Since credit is awarded in clock-hours those more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed to attend the course.

Please fill out the In Service Duplicate/Replacement Form and return with payment to: Action for Children Attn: Kristen McHarg 78 Jefferson Ave. Columbus, OH 43215
