California Quality Rating and Improvement System

The California Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) is a framework designed to assess and enhance the quality of early childhood education programs in the state. It provides a rating system that measures various aspects, such as teaching practices, program administration, and family engagement. By evaluating these areas, QRIS helps parents make informed choices about childcare, while also supporting educators in improving their services. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that all children receive high-quality early learning experiences that foster their development and readiness for school.
