Partner Toolkit

We love working with the many early childhood organizations and initiatives across Nebraska. These partnerships are important to us as we all work to improve the overall quality of care for our youngest residents. To help our partners explain all the benefits that Step Up to Quality offers to child care providers, we created this digital toolkit of resources and materials.

2022-23 Annual Report
In July, we celebrated the ninth anniversary of Step Up to Quality! We have so much to celebrate: more than 700 providers who are participating in our program, more than 41,000 children in Nebraska who have been educated by a Step Up to Quality-rated provider, and the launch of Step Up to Quality 2.0 earlier this year. To see more about our achievements and results over the past year, please read our annual report.

Written specifically for child care providers, this brochure explains the Step Up to Quality process and what providers can expect when they enroll. These brochures are free; if you have an in-person event coming up, contact us at nde.stepuptoquality@nebraska.gov to have a supply sent to you. This brochure is also available in Spanish.
