Child care providers play a significant role in children's development. 85% of a child's capacity to learn is determined by the age of five. With Paths to QUALITY, Indiana's voluntary quality rating system, providers demonstrate ongoing efforts to achieve higher standards of quality. 

Learn more about the Paths to QUALITY program. 

You care about quality.

All participants have demonstrated a commitment to the highest level of professionalism in child care, achievement of a nationally recognized accreditation. Level 4 providers are managed by a provider or director who has volunteered to provide mentoring to others in the field.
