Three Stars for MRH
Hospi-Tots Program
For the third straight year, the MRH Hospi-
Tots program received a three star rating from
the Star-Quality Child Care Program. As a participant
in this program for three years, Hospi-Tots
has recently been recognized as the only three
star rated, double accredited child care center in
the state of Tennessee.
Hospi-Tots has been accredited for three
years by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children, the nation’s largest and
most influential organization of early childhood
educators, and the National Accreditation Commission
for Early Care and Education Programs,
an organization established to assist licensed
and regulated child care centers in providing
quality enhancements for children, professional
development opportunities for staff and effective
management skills for administrators and owners.
The Star-Quality Child Care Program is a
part of the state’s comprehensive plan to provide
more information to parents and improve the
quality of child care in Tennessee. It is a voluntary
program for child care providers that encourages
and recognizes quality child care programs.
