One of the strategies that I saw being utilized was the Quality Rating and Improvement Systems also known as the QRIS. This works towards improving the quality of our early education systems as a whole. It focuses on improving and supporting the development of children. The QRIS seeks to emcompass all facets of early childhood edcucation including assessments and monitoring, providing easy consumer understanding of quality eduation settings, aligning program and professional standards, and professional and program supports. By developing a more comprehensive system for early care programs, this will ensure programs are providing the quality of services they are designed for. Monitoring all these aspects of early education can give childrne and families that type of services they need in order for their children to be successful in school.
There is a significant gap in how parents understand quality care and quality care programs. By providing a more cohesive system of monitoring quality programs, teachers will have the appropriate qualifications and the type of support they need to continue providing high quality educational expriences. Programs will maintain a level of quality the will ensure families have continuous positive eduacational experiences.
