Playworks Early Care & Learning Center earns 5 stars



 
 
The Wilkes Community Partnership for Children is proud to announce that Playworks Early Care & Learning Center has been awarded a 5-Star rating from the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education, based on its excellence and quality in program standards and staff education.

The state uses a range of one to five stars to rate each program. Programs that meet minimum standards receive one star, while programs exceeding these basic requirements may apply to receive up to 5 stars, the highest rating. Star ratings are achieved by assessment of two quality child care components: staff education and program standards. In addition, one “quality point” is available to programs that make achievements in programmatic or education areas that are not addressed by these components.


PlayWorks Early Care & Learning Center is a newly founded program located in the basement of Benton Hall at 306 D Street, North Wilkesboro. The center is owned and operated by a mother/daughter team, Sharon and Katy Phillips. PlayWorks serves children ages 6 weeks-5 years old. The center has a low child/staff ratio to provide optimal care.  The center is staffed with NC state certified teachers and a CNA. PlayWorks is very family oriented and provides many family opportunities to enhance the home/school relationship.  The center will be hosting an Open House and 5Star celebration on Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 2-4 pm.
