About Keystone STARS | What does Keystone STARS Mean? | What You Will Find at a Keystone STARS Program

Keystone STARS is a continuous quality improvement program. It has four STAR levels. Each STAR designation has its own research-based performance standards. These standards measure four areas that make a difference in the quality of care your child receives:

1. The educated and well-trained staff
2. The environment your child is in everyday
3. Leadership and Management
4. Family and Community Partnership

As a program moves from STAR 1 to STAR 4, the requirements in these areas increase.
