Heights Schools' Preschool Program Given 5-Stars By State

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Noble Elementary preschool program has again been given a five-star rating by the Ohio Department of Education's Step Up To Quality division. This is the second-straight five-star rating awarded to the program.

The Step Up To Quality rating system uses star-tiers to recognize early learning programs that meet quality standards over and above basic licensing requirements. A five-star rating is the highest designation given through the program. Noble earned its previous five-star designation in December 2016, which will expire after three years in November 2019.

Noble's preschool program's second five-star rating will go into effect on November 10, 2019 and will be valid until November 9, 2022.

"Noble Preschool's many highlights include its implementation of Conscious Discipline and high-quality classroom space, which was prepared intentionally to meet students' individual needs," said Early Childhood Specialist Danielle Foran. "I am thrilled to see that the hard work and ingenuity of our early childhood educators is noticed and valued."
