SUTQ - PRE4CLE

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE OUR QUALITY

CHILD CARE & EARLY EDUCATION SYSTEM

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

The State Senate has proposed major changes to the Ohio’s Step Up To Quality system that would have devastating results for quality care and education.

WHAT IS STEP UP TO QUALITY?

Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) is Ohio’s research-based five-star quality rating system for early learning programs. A star rating is a sign that an early care and education provider has invested in program standards that that exceed licensing health and safety regulations and are proven to support learning and development in young children.
