32 of 87 providers here hold a Step Up to Quality rating and are listed first, highest Step first. Step Up to Quality is Nebraska's voluntary quality rating system for child care and early childhood programs, run by the Nebraska Department of Education with DHHS.

Participation is voluntary, so a provider without a rating has not been rated low.
