RISING STARS Q&A
Return to Q&A Home PageI would like to start putting together my program’s E-Portfolio before I begin the application process. Is there an outline of what should be in the E-Portfolio for each Star rating?
All licensed programs must update their Rising Stars for ME application at least every two years at the time of licensing renewal. For programs rated at Star 3 and above – or for those working toward Star 3 – keeping an updated E-Portfolio with the required evidence for each requirement in Rising Stars for ME will facilitate the application process so you have the necessary documents on hand.
To assist programs in assembling their E-Portfolios, we have created E-Portfolio Guides for Facilities and Family Child Care Programs. These guides outline all required evidence for each Star rating within each Standard and provide helpful related resources and links. You can find the E-Portfolio Guides at the links below:
As always, please reach out to risingstarsforme@maine.edu with questions.
