CCA For Social Good® and Vermont Birth to Five Help Early Childhood Educators in Vermont Raise Quality
Manchester, NH (PRWEB) October 28, 2015 -- CCA For Social Good, a division of CCA Global Partners, and Vermont Birth to Five are excited to announce the launch of an innovative toolkit that supports early childhood care and education providers working through the state’s quality rating improvement system.
The web-based “Raise Quality” toolkit is available for members of SharedServicesVT.org, an early childhood education (ECE) shared services platform developed by CCA For Social Good®. Among hundreds of practical tools, providers have access to a set of resources helping Registered Programs, Licensed Programs, and School Aged Programs advance within Vermont’s STep Ahead Recognition System (STARS). Resources are available with the click of a mouse, everyday – 24/7 – supporting providers as they navigate the complex requirements to achieve a higher rating.
“The Raise Quality toolkit will be a substantial benefit to child care providers in Vermont,” remarked Becky Gonyea, Director of Vermont Birth to Five. “Members of Shared Services VT will experience significant time and money savings, because they’ll no longer need to put the STARS puzzle pieces together themselves. The Raise Quality section provides a step-by-step toolkit with downloadable resources for virtually every STARS performance criteria.”
“Our goal was to ensure that we not only explained what steps are needed to achieve a STARS rating, but also provide all the materials and tools needed to complete each step,” stated Denise Sayer, Vice President of CCA For Social Good ®. “The Raise Quality toolkit on Shared Services VT is an essential resource that supports and strengthens practitioners’ work towards achieving the highest STARS rating.”
