On April 18th, PRE4CLE recognized the latest batch of high-quality PRE4CLE Providers in a celebration held at the Cleveland History Center. To be a PRE4CLE Provider, preschools must have a 3-, 4-, or 5-star Step Up To Quality rating and meet additional requirements for their teachers’ education levels and class size. Eleven new PRE4CLE Providers were recognized, bringing the total number of PRE4CLE Providers to 117.

The ceremony also celebrated five-star ratings at thirteen CMSD preschools over the past eighteen months, bringing the total number of CMSD five-star rated preschools to 50, all of which are PRE4CLE Providers.

All PRE4CLE Providers and their staff were able to network, visit the museum exhibits including the Euclid Beach carousel, get chair massages, and enjoy an evening out. They were joined by staff from our partners at Starting Point.
