GJCS Preschools Achieve Highest Quality Level for Childcare Programs
Jasper Elementary School and Ireland Elementary School Preschool Programs have
achieved the highest possible rating in Paths to QUALITYTM. Paths to QUALITY is
Indiana’s quality rating and improvement system for childcare programs. It is a
consistent set of standards to help parents identify licensed family childcare centers,
licensed family care homes, and unlicensed registered ministries that have met state
requirements for health and safety.
Paths to QUALITY is a voluntary statewide system created to improve the quality of
childcare and early education for children. It gives all families a tool to find the best
quality program for their needs and supports and recognizes providers on a four-level
rating system. The system has been studied and validated by the Child Development
and Family studies experts at Purdue University.
Jasper Elementary School and Ireland Elementary School both received state visits and
were awarded with the Level 4 Status from the state.
“Achieving a Level 4 designation is a milestone that reflects the hard work, dedication,
and passion of our educators, staff, and administration. It underscores our pledge to
foster an environment where our children can grow, learn, and thrive,” said Dr. Tracy
Lorey, GJCS Superintendent.
