IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
The West After School Center has been awarded a
One Star Rating in the Ohio Department of Job and Family Service
Step-Up-to
Quality Rating System. Step Up to Quality (SUTQ)
is a statewide, voluntary rating system for licensed childcare and
afterschool programs designed to move programs above established health,
safety, and program standards and to help parents select quality
programming for their children. We share this rating and honor with
colleagues from the Lancaster-Fairfield Community Action Head Start (ELI
programs) who share our ODJFS license. Commendations to all our staff
and particularly Jane Hart (WASC) and Kathleen Cortleesa (Head Start)
who have spearheaded this effort. We join the Child's Play Learning
Center in Pickerington as the only other SUTQ-Rated afterschool program
in Fairfield County.

MEAL PROGRAMS at the WASC
Busy parents can take advantage of the availability of supper at the
WASC, Cedar Heights, and Tallmadge, Monday-Friday, throughout the year.
The snacks we serve are free, and the supper program (5:30-6:00 pm) is
open to any child in our programs or others that would sign up for
supper, based on qualification requirements similar to the school lunch
program. The WASC is a sponsor of afterschool meals for the centers
serving children at East, West, Cedar Heights, and Tallmadge. |

A brief introduction and explanation of the 21st Century
Community Learning Centers Program (21stCCLC)
These
programs, administered by the states, support the
creation of community learning centers that provide
academic enrichment opportunities during non-school
hours for children, particularly students who attend
high-poverty and low-performing schools. The programs
help students meet state and local student standards in
core academic subjects, such as reading and math. They
offer students a broad array of enrichment activities
that can complement their regular academic programs and
offer literacy and other educational services to the
families of participating children.
