STARS identification numbers required to get STARS credits!
As you may know, the STARS Registry has changed the way it tracks the STARS credits you earn by attending approved classes and trainings. Child care providers must provide their STARS ID number in order to receive STARS credits. Social security numbers are no longer being accepted by the STARS registry. Bring your STARS ID number with you when you attend a class or training. If you do not yet have your STARS ID number you must complete and mail a "Provider Profile Form" to:
