The Gold Circle of Quality designation is the highest level awarded in ExceleRate Illinois, acknowledging programs that have met rigorous standards in early learning and development, instructional excellence, staff qualifications, family services, and program administration.
“I am happy to report that our preschool program has received the Gold Circle of Quality designation for the second time. This is really due to the hard work of the preschool team: the teachers, occupational therapist, speech-language pathologists, social worker, and the District’s Special Services coordinator and instructional coach. They are constantly making sure that we are planning for student success. This recognition reflects the dedication and passion our preschool teachers and staff bring to creating an enriching and supportive learning environment for every child,” said Jennifer Bajda, Director of Special Services.
Programs are awarded the Gold Circle of Quality for a period of 3 years. To learn more about ExceleRate Illinois, including the specific requirements for each Circle of Quality, visit www.excelerateillinoisproviders.com.
