"During the application process this year, we only applied for two stars," Ackley said. "We will try for three stars next year, but there needs to be more training opportunities for the staff members."
Ackley said the criteria for three stars are similar to those for two stars, however, the state requires that staff go through even more specialized training.
Not only are the staff members pleased with the Miami Child Development Center and their accomplishments, but parents are satisfied as well. Kelly Schoenly, Miami's women softball coach, has a four-year-old daughter, Danielle, who regularly attends the center. Schoenly has only had positive experiences with the center.
"I am very pleased," Schoenly said. "There are dedicated teachers who are unbelievably patient with the kids. The location is very convenient, clean, and everything is top notch."
Children are typically from the surrounding area, and the majority of students are affiliated with the university. According to Ackley, staff members typically register their children to attend the school while they are busy at work at Miami. Students in the Oxford area are also typically enrolled in the program.
