This achievement showcases the staff’s commitment to providing high-quality child care to children and families in Jacksonville and was accomplished after many hours of professional development by facility staff.
Better Beginnings is a program of the Arkansas Department of Education Office of Early Childhood focused on giving children the best quality care. The program gives child care providers a star rating, indicating the facility’s quality level. Access to high-quality child care brings economic benefits to communities. It helps working parents be more productive at work and fosters economic development. “Better Beginnings providers enable the children in their care to be their best selves and discover their highest potential,” said Better Beginnings Program Administrator Kelli Hilburn. “Providers like JFUMC Christian Childcare Center are great partners in our mission to ensure all children in Arkansas have the highest-quality care possible.” To learn more about the star levels or Better Beginnings, follow their social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or visit arbetterbeginnings.com.
