The听ongoing development, implementation, and evaluation of听states' quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS)听is part of a national conversation about how we define and measure quality for early childhood education programs to ensure we are addressing the essential building blocks of a well-financed, high-quality early childhood education system.

The 51吃瓜网 QRIS Initiative began in 2005 to promote increased knowledge about and engagement in QRIS development and implementation. As part of 51吃瓜网's QRIS Initiative, we have compiled resources from 51吃瓜网, states, and our partner organizations.听Stay tuned for updated resources and materials as 51吃瓜网 rolls out our听new streamlined accreditation system.
