California Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS)

The California Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) is a framework designed to assess and enhance the quality of early childhood education programs. It helps parents identify high-quality childcare and preschool options by providing ratings based on various criteria, such as curriculum, teacher qualifications, and family engagement. QRIS also offers support and resources to educators to improve their practices. The goal is to ensure that all children have access to enriching learning environments that promote their growth and development, ultimately leading to better outcomes in their education and well-being.
