Early Achievers rates the quality of childcare and early learning programs on a point scale of 1 to 5. These points are earned through on-site evaluations conducted by the University of Washington on quality of care. My Little Planet has been evaluated through this process and is currently rated at 3 Plus with a rate of 63, and we are working hard to better our program for our next rating! By participating in this program, we receive free resources and training to improve the quality of their programs and there is no additional cost to families.

*Level 3 programs demonstrate supporting and nurturing interactions with children, developmentally appropriate practice, and view parents as partners in their children's learning. These programs may be implementing some best practices in early childhood education and working toward implementing others to help prepare children for kindergarten. Some staff may have early childhood education-specific degrees and

credentials. (https://www.dcyf.wa.gov
