The preschool at Hannah Gibbons STEM School has received the state’s top rating for quality.

Hannah Gibbons' preschool earned five stars under Ohio’s Step Up To Quality program. Five-star schools:

• Have lower staff/child ratios.
• Use child assessment results to plan activities that best support learning and development goals for each child.
• Share assessment results and create goals for children.
• Develop plans to support children as they move to a new classroom or educational setting.
• Work with other organizations or businesses to support children and their families.

“Hannah Gibbons is proud to be a five-star program,” said Greg Adkins, principal of Hannah Gibbons. “We know that children typically have a little more than five years from birth until kindergarten, and every day matters. It is important to us that children develop their self-confidence, social and emotional skills, and a love of learning.”

Research confirms that the first five years of a child’s life have a direct impact on how children develop emotional well-being and learning and social skills.
