A 5-Star Celebration! 

On Wednesday, June 27th, KinderCare Learning Centers across the state will be recognizing teachers and staff for their hard work & dedication in achieving Wisconsin’s highest rating for quality child care, the YoungStar 5-Star Rating. 

YoungStar rates child care providers on educational quality & training, learning environment & curriculum, professional & business practices and the health & well-being of children. Only centers that excel at all four areas achieve the coveted 5-star rating. 

Tammy Hammell, Regional Vice President for KinderCare, “Early childhood education is so important to give children the best start in life for success in school and beyond.  The YoungStar rating system helps parents find the very best providers and, by supporting child care providers statewide, it helps improve the quality of care for children across Wisconsin.  Our 5-Star centers and staff are shining examples of how we give children the best start in life.”
