Star Rating ~

An assessor from STAR visited COSKids the final week of March. We have received a summary of her observations and are very happy to announce that we received the highest scores to date for a STAR rating. We could not be prouder of the time and effort that the full staff put into getting ready for the assessment. 

We are now waiting for our state licensing representative to finalize the assessment and give us our official score. 

Licensing the Upper Building ~

COSKids is growing! Beginning in June we will open 4 new rooms, going from 8 full day (6:30am - 6pm) classes to 11 full day classes and 1 partial day (8am - 2pm) class. This does mean that we will no longer have our 4 hour preschool program.

Click below to view the letter that went home with children in February about rate changes that will take effect on 8/24/15.
