In addition to achieving the highest national rating available through NAEYC, Wee Wisdom has also achieved the highest rating granted in the state of Indiana by voluntarily participating in “Paths to Quality” and receiving a Level 4.  Paths to Quality is a free and voluntary quality rating system for child care that was originally developed and implemented by Early Childhood Alliance in 6 counties in northeast Indiana and now serves as the pilot for the statewide implementation of a child care quality rating system. Paths to Quality provides information to parents on how to find and choose quality child care in licensed centers, family childcare homes, or unlicensed registered ministries. Paths to Quality is a system where each level builds on the foundation of the previous one, resulting in significant quality improvements at each state and resulting in national accreditation at the highest level…Level 4.
