Northeast Cobb Child Care Ratings Announced

They were rated on a scale of one to three stars, with three stars being the highest rating a center can achieve.

The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning today launched a new ratings system that gives parents an idea of the quality of the state's child care programs.

In Cobb, 21 programs have been rated on a scale of one to three stars, with three stars being the highest rating a center can achieve.

Programs with one star have demonstrated a commitment to meeting standards that exceed state health and safety requirements, met several quality benchmarks, and scored sufficiently on the independent observation.

Two star quality rated programs have demonstrated a commitment to meeting standards that exceed state health and safety requirements, met many quality benchmarks, and scored well on the independent observation.
