WASHINGTON STATE DEL STARS MERIT
The Washington State Department of Early Learning's training registry is referred to as MERIT, previously known as STARS. As a child care provider, you will need to create a MERIT account to track your professional development training and your STARS hours.
You can get reimbursed for your STARS-approved training, up to $250 each year. When you set up an account with SG Classes Online, please provide your STARS ID number and we'll report all your completed classes to MERIT so you can get credit for your training and be eligible for reimbursement.
