The STARS Status Review, Reduction, Suspension, & Removal Process provides consistent guidance across all Early Learning Resource Centers for reviewing, reducing, suspending, or removing a provider’s STAR designation. It also provides procedures for developing STARS action plans. A detailed written process is attached to this announcement that provides step-by-step instructions for specific situations involving areas of noncompliance. As with any written procedure, specific scenarios may emerge that are outside the scope of this process. The Early Learning Resource Center should consult with the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) to determine appropriate measures for unique situations.
