Quality Rated Partners
Quality Rated is a system that assesses and recognizes child care programs following best practices in early childhood education, ensuring families can have confidence in their choice. These programs prioritize qualified teachers, individualized instruction, active learning, social-emotional development, and low student-teacher ratios, often adhering to standards like NAEYC accreditation which emphasizes strong management, positive relationships, comprehensive curriculum, effective teaching, ongoing assessment, health and safety, qualified staff, family partnerships, community engagement, and a safe environment.
Georgia Southern University does not recommend, endorse or promote any specific childcare facility. Families are encouraged to conduct their own research and make informed decisions regarding the selection of childcare services that best meet their needs.
