Description:
In 2012 and 2013 -- as a follow-up to a multi-year research project that explored the economic impacts of high quality early childhood education -- the Public Policy Forum published a pair of reports analyzing YoungStar's implementation. The reports covered the quality ratings received by child care providers in Milwaukee County and the challenges and opportunities for improving the quality of child care locally. Since that time, YoungStar has undergone changes and additions, and the quality ratings of child care providers have changed. This report provides an update on the impacts of YoungStar and how it has impacted child care quality in Milwaukee County. Specifically, it addresses the ratings of Milwaukee County providers and the accessibility of quality child care for Milwaukee County children and parents, as well as the tools and services available to providers to help them improve their YoungStar rating.
