High-quality child care—providing a safe, healthy place for children to learn and grow guided by dedicated professionals—can set the stage for lifelong success.
YoungStar
Childcaring is the YoungStar Regional Office.
YoungStar, a program of the Department of Children & Families, is Wisconsin’s child care quality rating and improvement system. We give parents the tools and information they need to raise happy, healthy kids. And, we help preschools, home-based programs, learning centers, and other child care providers give children safe, nurturing places to grow.
How do we do it?
- By objectively measuring child care quality. We rate thousands of child care providers, awarding up to five stars for the best quality of care.
- By giving parents an easy way to compare their local child care options and find the programs that match their family’s lifestyle, budget, and special needs.
- By supporting providers with tools and training to deliver high-quality care
- By setting a consistent standard for child care quality
