How Grow NJ Kids Works
To create a standard way to look at child care and early learning, Grow NJ Kids provides families with an objective rating system.
Based on the findings of a preliminary assessment that the child care and early learning program does on itself, trained professionals work with the program staff to address areas needing improvement.
Then, a trained rater, using a comprehensive, research-based tool, formally assesses the program. A program can earn up to five stars, giving parents an easy way to compare and make an educated decision about what is best for their child.
