California QRIS

California's Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) is a structured framework designed to assess, improve, and communicate the quality of early childhood education programs. It provides a rating system that helps parents understand the quality of care their children will receive and supports educators in enhancing their teaching practices. By focusing on various aspects such as staff qualifications, learning environments, and family engagement, QRIS aims to improve educational outcomes for young children, ensuring they have a strong foundation for future learning. This initiative ultimately strives to promote better access to high-quality early education across the state.
