To promote the revised model and help your program continuously strengthen quality, the STARS team designed 17 different resource bundles filled with books and materials for your programs. The team selected these materials to highlight developmental, thematic, or content areas that help children learn and grow.
Depending on your license type, you may choose between three and five bundles for your program:
- Registered and Licensed Family Child Care Homes = 3 bundles
- Center Based Child Care and Preschool Programs, 0-60 children = 4 bundles
- Center Based Child Care and Preschool Programs, 60+ children = 5 bundles
- Afterschool Child Care Programs (0-60) = 4 bundles
- Afterschool Child Care Programs (60+ children) = 5 bundles
Center based child care and preschool programs and registered and licensed family child care homes also will automatically receive CLASS assessment materials. Afterschool programs will receive STARS Program Quality Assessment (PQA) materials under separate cover.
You can view the resource bundles and make your selections online. Only one submission per license number will be accepted. The estimated materials value is $500 per bundle.
After you submit your bundle request, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Vendors will assemble your order and send it directly to you at the address provided. You should receive your selected bundles 3 to 6 weeks after ordering. Substitutions may be necessary based on vendor product availability. However, the value of products will not be affected.
