For the first time in the Child Development Center鈥檚 31-year history at Western Nevada College, the center has received a 5-star program rating.

The 5-star recognition for the CDC comes from the Nevada Silver State Stars Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS). As a 5-star child care center, the CDC has demonstrated and documented quality indicators above licensing regulation requirements. The CDC鈥檚 5-star rating is valid for two years.

鈥淎chieving this 5-star designation is truly a reflection of the teachers and their hard work and commitment to the Child Development Center, the children and our families,鈥� said CDC Director Anna Lisa Acosta-Rogers. 鈥淭hey work so hard every day to meet the high standards set by Nevada鈥檚 Early Care and Education office and the rating scales, and achieving this honor shows that. We are so proud of this 5-star recognition!鈥�

Previously, the CDC has received a 4-star rating, which is described as a Quality Plus program that exceeds high-quality standards. According to Acosta-Rogers, the CDC has participated in the QRIS since 2009.

"Anna Lisa and her team do an incredible job of caring for children and preparing them for primary school," said WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. "We commend them for providing the community with a 5-star center!"

All child care centers in Nevada are invited to participate in the QRIS鈥檚 voluntary program. The QRIS is a structural approach to improve and assess child care centers. The QRIS assists families locate high-quality child care that is best for them and their children.
