The Child Development Lab is a participant in the voluntary Virginia Star
Quality Initiative because research shows that the quality of care your child receives sets the stage for all future learning.
In June 2011, we were awarded a 4-Star rating.
Finding and accessing high quality child care can be a challenge; but families now have a tool to help inform their decisions. The Virginia Star Quality Initiative (VSQI) was created to provide a consistent way to distinguish the level of quality in early education programs, allowing you to make more informed choices. Early learning providers who participate in this completely voluntary program are provided with a way to continually improve the quality of their services.
The quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) for early childhood providers awards programs one of five star levels of increasing quality. But the rating is only the first step of the QRIS process. After receiving a rating, programs are given tools to improve their quality through mentoring and other assistance.
Participation and the award of a star rating reflects a program’s choice to raise the bar in commitment to quality beyond expectation or requirement.
A Program With a Star Rating:
Why Does Quality Matter?
Children with access to high quality early learning experiences are more likely to acquire the skills they need to enter kindergarten ready to succeed and adapt to new learning and social environments. High quality care means that children are engaging in meaningful learning and play, guided by qualified caregivers in an enriched educational environment.
