What is Keystone Stars


Keystone Stars is Pennsylvania's continuous quality improvement system for early care and education and after school programing. It is based on four STAR levels. Each STAR level designation has its own research-based performance standards. These standards measure four major areas that make a difference in the quality of care children receive:
1. Director/staff qualifications and professional development
2. The early learning program
3. Partnerships with families and the community
4. Leadership and management
