Oklahoma Department of Human Services Reaching for the Stars program

The Stars program is designed to recognize providers who are growing professionally and providing quality child care in Oklahoma.  Every licensed provider is a One Star provider.  However, providers can work up to a One Star Plus, Two Star, or Three Star status. 

The goals of the Stars program are:

1. To increase the training and education of child care providers, thereby improving the overall quality of care.
2. To provide parents with a method to evaluate child care.
3. To increase the reimbursement that child care providers receive and create new slots for low-income families.
