ECISD Children’s Center earns highest rating from Texas Workforce Commission

The Texas Workforce Commission recently gave the Ector County ISD Children’s Center at Zavala Elementary a Four-Star Texas Rising Star certification, its highest rating.

The Texas Star Rising program certifies licensed childcare centers throughout the state on a scale of two to four stars, with the four-star rating being the highest designation.

ECISD’s Children’s Center currently serves 95 children ages zero to five whose parents are either employees of the school district or are students in the Teen Parent Services program. There are 23 staff members at the center, according to ECISD.

“I am extremely proud of the effort of the staff at the ECISD Childcare Center,” said Assistant Superintendent for Student and School Support Alicia Syverson. “The team went the extra mile to meet the criteria and demonstrate to the appraisers they are serving families at a Four-Star level. We are one of only three Texas Rising Star Four-Star childcare centers in this area. We are making an impact.”
