Washington STARS (State Training and
Registry System) is a career development system for those who work in
child care and early education, and school-age care. All family
child care providers, child care and school-age center directors,
program supervisor, lead teachers and site coordinators are required to
complete the 20-hour basic training within 6 months of being employed or
licensed. After meeting the 20-hour requirement, 10 hours of
continuing education is required annually. Training meets STARS
requirements if provided by a STARS approved trainer or training
organization, or is a college class designed to meet the STARS
requirements.
Henderson Bay High School offers a STARS
program. Students earning a grade of "B" or better on 100% of the
competencies are eligible to apply for dual credit through the Pierce
County Careers Connection (PC3 - link at left).
