Recently, the Texas Workforce Commission affirmed what CDC parents already knew: the CDC is one of the best child care programs in the state.

In just its fourth year, the AISD CDC has been recognized as a Texas Rising Star Four-Star Certified child care program by the Texas Workforce Commission, signifying their commitment to meet a level of quality that exceeds child care regulation standards in Texas. The Four-Star rating is the highest possible rating by the Work Force Commission’s Texas Rising Star program.

The CDC has 130 students and 23 staff members, providing care and early-learning opportunities for employee children ages six weeks to 4 years old. 

The Texas Rising Star program is a quality improvement, rating and certification system for early childhood programs in Texas. The program ensures that child care and early learning programs who participate in TWC’s Child Care Services’ program meet higher quality standards for providing early care and education.

Child care programs are rated in the following categories with the following weights:

  • Director and Staff Qualification Training - 20%
  • Teacher-Child Interactions - 40%
  • Program Administration - 20%
  • Indoor and Outdoor Environments - 20%

Texas Rising Star-certified programs require annual monitoring to ensure high-quality child care and early learning is provided. Every year, Aledo ISD CDC staff members complete a required number of training hours, meeting and exceeding district expectations for quality care.
