  • How is Big Blue Bird different from other centers in the area?

    Big Blue Bird Early Childhood Center offers a unique blend of high-quality care, low ratios, and group sizes. We strive to build partnerships with our parents and encourage them to have an active role in their child's education. Families are always welcome and can participate in classroom activities anytime. 

  • Why are low teacher/child ratios important?

    Low ratios of children to teachers are associated with more extensive teacher and child interactions, more individual attention, more extensive and complex language, and more complex play.

  • What is STARS for KIDS NOW?

    STARS for KIDS NOW, Kentucky's voluntary quality rating system for licensed Type I and Type II child care centers and certified family child care homes, is now available statewide.  This system uses a scale of 1 through 4 STARS to identify levels of quality.  All STAR levels surpass the minimum licensing requirements that all programs must meet.  Early care and education programs work to meet standards associated with quality care resulting in positive outcomes for young children. Programs are assessed in the following areas:  staff/child ratios, group size, curriculum, parent involvement, training/education of staff, regulatory compliance, and personnel practices.


    We are proud to announce that we are now a three STAR center!
