Step Up To Quality
Serious risk rules have been identified as presenting the greatest risk of harm to children. The serious risk rules were identified by a workgroup with statewide representation from diverse stakeholder groups.
If a program has a non-compliance with any of these rules, it will prevent them from being eligible for a Star Rating until they have had a regular licensing visit without any serious risk non-compliances. A serious risk non-compliance at a program that is Star Rated may result in a warning, suspension or removal of the Star Rating.
