Caregivers are eligible and encouraged to participate
in Quality Rewards including:
- Registered Child Development
Homes
- Licensed center programs
- Licensed preschool programs
You must operate your program in
one of these counties:
- Lyon
- Sioux
- Plymouth
- Cherokee
Caregivers play a crucial role in a child's development. Quality
Rewards seeks to encourage and reward child care providers for
providing quality care. Quality Rewards will also help to improve
the availability of quality child care programs in Sioux, Lyon,
Plymouth and Cherokee counties.
The Quality Rewards' Mission is
to encourage quality child care, recruit new child
care providers and expand existing quality programs.
As you reach your goals, you accumulate points, which you can use
to shop for toys and equipment to help improve the quality of your
child care. There will be times for you to set up an appointment
to discuss your needs or to find "Shopping Day" of looking
at a variety of merchandise catalogs to redeem your points.
You may continue reaching goals, accumulating and redeeming points
as long as funding is available from Empowerment. This is a proposed
long-term project.
