Washington STARS

Washington STARS is a career development system designed to improve the quality of early care and education for all children in our state. Through increased opportunities for basic and on-going training, Washington STARS supports Child Care, Early Education and School-Age professionals to do their best work and ensure the availability of high quality care. Washington STARS provides professional development opportunities, a Registry System and financial assistance to help participating individuals meet their state requirements while achieving their professional development goals.

 

Washington STARS and WAEYC

WAEYC, through a contract with the Department of Early Learning (DEL), administers STARS Reimbursements, Trainer and Training approval and Provider Services.

WAEYC and DEL are committed to sustaining a system that works for all participants.
