Step Up To Quality

3-Star Rating

We received word today that Pembroke Kids has been awarded a 3-Star Rating by the State of Ohio! Step Up To Quality is a voluntary, quality rating system for early care and education programs. Programs can earn a 1-,2-, or 3-Star Rating by meeting and exceeding the quality benchmarks for the State of Ohio. Our 3-Star rating is a level of quality achieved by less than 15% of all Star Rated programs. As of today, we are the only 3-Star rated early childhood program in Avon/Avon Lake, and one of only 4 in Lorain County.
