Which child care program categorizes facilities that meet high standards for quality?

The Gold Seal Quality Care Program is specifically designed to recognize child care facilities that not only meet but exceed the minimum standards established by the state. This program is an indication of a facility's commitment to providing high-quality care and education to children. Facilities that achieve this designation have demonstrated a higher level of service, professional staff education, and ongoing compliance with best practices in child care.

In contrast, the Enforcement Program primarily focuses on regulatory compliance and addressing non-compliance issues within child care facilities rather than recognizing high standards. Evening Child Care refers to programs that provide care during evening hours, and while they meet necessary standards, they do not specifically focus on high quality. School Age Child Care programs target children who are of school-going age, often providing before and after school care, but they also do not encapsulate the comprehensive quality standards represented by the Gold Seal Quality Care Program.
