It is growing harder and harder to find top-quality child care in Maryland. Parents are left wondering if the online reviews are accurate or if the atmosphere they saw during their tour is an accurate depiction of the day-to-day life their child will experience. These concerns are all natural and real for parents, and Maryland has the perfect review system in place for all of those questions and concerns.
Maryland Excels is an initiative brought forth by the Maryland State Department of Education as a tool to rate and improve quality within early childhood and school-age programs. This quality and improvement scale is measured from 1-5, with 5 as the highest rating. The tool looks at the following competencies to form their rating:
-Staffing and Professional Development
-Accreditation and Program Improvement
-Developmentally Appropriate Practices
-Administrative Policies and Practices
Programs with ratings 1 through 4 are meeting standards above the minimum licensing requirements and are committed to improving the quality of the services they provide to children and families.
Level Five programs meet the highest benchmarks in the Maryland EXCELS system and are state or nationally accredited.
