Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS)

The Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) is a framework used to assess and enhance the quality of early childhood education programs. It provides a way to measure various factors—such as teacher qualifications, learning environments, and family engagement—that contribute to effective learning experiences for children. By rating programs on a scale, QRIS helps parents identify high-quality childcare options. Additionally, it supports educators in improving their services through targeted resources and professional development, ultimately aiming to ensure better outcomes for children in their crucial early years of development.
