Register for Upcoming Live Demonstration of New Streamlined Keystone STARS Designation System
On October 1, 2021, the new process for Keystone STARS pre-designation and designation applications launches in to Pennsylvania’s Professional Development (PD) Registry. Moving more functionality into the PD Registry streamlines multiple processes into one system and designation for providers.

The PD Registry team invites directors, administrators and owners of child care programs in Pennsylvania to a live demonstration of new system features on Wednesday, July 28, 2021. This will be recorded and posted to the Pennsylvania Key (www.pakeys.org) website.

NOTE: In-depth training on how to apply for Keystone STARS designation in the PD Registry will be available beginning August 2021 via the Pennsylvania Key website.

  2. Applying for placement on Pennsylvania’s Early Childhood Education (ECE) Career Pathway;
  3. Assisting staff members in completing their PD Registry profile and applying for Career Pathway placement; and
