To director's of Montgomery County Centers: ReadySetSoar is partnering with 4C for Children to launch a “Reach for the Stars” awareness effort. “Reach for the Stars” will be an awareness effort to help families understand Step Up To Quality and find Star Rated programs. Pediatricians will also be educated on high quality early care and education and given lists of Star Rated programs they can share with their patients.
As a director of an early care and education program in the Dayton Region, your ideas and input are needed to shape our effort as we roll out “Reach for the Stars” and develop training and support to meet your needs. To thank you for your participation in the survey we will send directors of childcare and preschools a $10 Target gift card once we receive your completed survey.
A note about confidentiality: You will be asked to share your name and address so your gift card can be mailed to you. When results are analyzed, names of people and programs will not be connected with data –your response will remain anonymous.
