Great Start to Quality rates the level of quality of all licensed and registered childcare and preschool programs in Michigan. Being Star Rated means that a program has exceeded the expectations of the State of Michigan Licensing Department."Making sure we provide children in our care with the best experience possible, is not only our job, it's our privilege," says Maurice and Amelia Marshall. "By participating in Great Start to Quality we earn recognition for our hard work. We also get ongoing support and training so we can keep improving the quality of care we provide."

​

Research shows that learning begins at birth, and high-quality childcare and preschool can help children succeed in school, work and life. 

​

"Families can feel confident in the quality of care their children receive when they see that star rating and know the work we put into creating a program that meets the needs of their children and their family," said the Marshalls.

For Precious Angels Christian Academy, the ratings are an opportunity to share with the community the level of quality care offered.
