What is it? The Best Beginnings STARS to Quality Program is a
voluntary quality rating improvement system that aligns
quality indicators with support and incentives for early
childhood programs and early
childhood professionals.
Why was it created?
Early Childhood Specialists are available for:
Required trainings Coaching Technical assistance
As part of the Child Care Development Block Grant (federal
dollars) each State has been required to develop a quality
improvement system and STARS became Montana’s model.
Many child care programs receive regular on-site visits with the STARS consultant or coach.
Programs need to renew or move forward annually. They are assessed to assure the quality
indicators remain intact for the current STAR status to continue or to allow the program to
attain the next STAR level.
