We strive to hire staff members that are caring, high quality educators whose desire is to provide the best possible after-school experience for children. All educators meet or exceed Department of Early education and Care (EEC) qualifications for their position. Educators are at least eighteen years old and have at least six months of experience. Many of our educators hold degrees in education, recreation, or other applicable areas. Others are earning their degrees at area colleges while working for Star Afterschool. A thorough background check is performed on all educators before they are allowed to have unsupervised contact with children, including professional references and a Criminal Offense Records Inquiry (CORI)
