Program Benefits
Step Up to Quality programs have special access to support and resources that improve quality.
Coaching. You won’t be on this journey alone! Step Up to Quality coaches are provided free of charge to help programs of all types, big or small, create individualized goals and action plans. Your coach will help you identify and maximize your strengths and guide you along your path to quality improvement.
Professional development and training. Access a variety of professional development and networking opportunities, at little to no cost.
Child Care Subsidy reimbursement. If your program receives child care subsidies, you may receive an increase to your subsidy rates once you reach Steps 3-5. You may receive an increase of 5 percent once you move up to Step 3 and an additional 5 percent for each additional step achieved. If your program enters at Step 3, you will not receive an increase until you reach Step 4.
Incentive bonuses. You’ll receive your first incentive bonus when you move up a step for the first time. Use incentive bonuses to pay for program materials like books, toys or professional development opportunities.
Financial support and grants. Your Step Up to Quality coach can provide resources and information to help you access additional support and funding via Step Up to Quality partners.
