Child Care Quality
Quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS) often reflect a state’s efforts to increase quality in early care and education (ECE) settings. QRISs systematically assess the quality of care in ECE settings and communicate that quality level to a variety of audiences. States have the ability to design QRISs differently to meet the ECE goals in their state.
