Dear Families,
As you know, My Little Planet Learning Center, is participating in Early Achievers and we are preparing to demonstrate our commitment to providing quality care and education through an on-site evaluation. We need your help to make this effort a success! Please read below for more information on how you can help us continue to provide high-quality care that helps children learn and grow.
On-site Evaluation
Childcare and early learning programs that participate in Early Achievers receive on-site evaluation visits from the University of Washington (UW). The purpose of the evaluation visit is to gather information about our program to inform our Early Achievers quality rating. An onsite observation of our learning environment during operating hours is part of our evaluation.
The evaluation includes collecting information that will be used to validate our quality and help us, My Little Planet Learning Center, develop goals to continue improving the quality of care we provide for your child, such as:
- Observing interactions between providers and children.
- Observing the materials, activities and experiences available to support children in the learning environment.
- Observing children engaging with the learning environment to understand how it stimulates their learning.
- Interviewing providers about how they support young children's growth and development.
- Interviewing interesteed families to learn about how we partner with families to support heir childs learning and development.
- reviewing program files and documentation to learn how program policies and procedures support quality childcare practice.
- Reviewing child files to see how our program supports each child's learning and development.
Please Note:
Your child's care and education will not be interrupted during this process.
- No information about your child will ever be released to the public.
- No identifiable information about individual children will be collected.
- information about our participation will be posted on the Department of Early Learning and Childcare Aware of Washington website (del.wa.gov and wa.childcareaware.org)
