For the first time in the Child Development Center’s 31-year history at Western Nevada College, the center has received a five-star program rating.
The five-star recognition for the CDC comes from the Nevada Silver State Stars Quality Rating and Improvement System.
As a five-star childcare center, the CDC has demonstrated and documented quality indicators above licensing regulation requirements. The CDCs five-star rating is valid for two years.
Previously, the CDC has received a four-star rating, which is described as a Quality Plus program that exceeds high-quality standards.
All childcare centers in Nevada are invited to participate in the QRISs voluntary program. The QRIS is a structural approach to improve and assess childcare centers. The QRIS assists families locate high-quality childcare that is best for them and their children.
The CDC opened in 1993 and has been recognized for six straight years as the Best Child/Day Care Provider in the Nevada Appeal’s Best of Carson City through voting from community members.
Voting for the Best of Carson City 2024 runs through Sunday. Vote for the CDC in the “Services” category at nevadaappeal.com/bestofcarson2024/#/gallery?group=478112.
