Our locally implemented quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) — raising the bar for early learning across the county.
Why does quality matter?
Children who attend high-quality early childhood programs are happier, more confident, more successful, and better prepared for the future. They typically enter kindergarten better able to focus, feel comfortable in school settings, and bring stronger learning skills.
The benefits keep adding up: better friendships, stronger conflict-resolution and communication skills, higher high school graduation rates, and greater earning potential later in life.
