Lakewood Child Care Center Earns 5-Star Step Up To Quality rating

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has awarded the Lakewood Child Care Center with a 5-star Step Up To Quality rating, which recognizes learning and development programs that exceed licensing health and safety standards.

The LCCC is the first among more than 800 registered daycares in Cuyahoga County to earn 5 stars.

“We are delighted to have earned the prestigious 5-star rating under Ohio’s Step Up To Quality program,” said Holle Brambick, LCCC’s director and 2013 top program administrator as named by the Ohio Association for the Education of Young Children. “The rating reflects not only a thorough evaluation process conducted by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services but also the continued efforts of our excellent staff and engaged families. “We are committed to providing exceptional childcare to all of our families and maintaining a 5-star rating for years to come,” she added.

Awarded every three years, Step Up To Quality measures licensed learning and development programs across four domains: learning and development; administrative leadership; staff qualifications and professional; and family and community partnerships.
