QRIS - General Info QRIS - Families QRIS - Site Quality Ratings

This section is intended to serve as a resource for Kings County QRIS Participants.

By participating in a QRIS program, FCCH and center staff members are able to embark on a path of continuous quality improvement. FCCH and centers who meet the lowest QRIS matrix standards have achieved levels of quality that are beyond the minimum state requirements to operate.

A QRIS program may vary significantly in terms of the content and the process involved in rating. A fully functioning QRIS program will include the following components:

1. quality standards for programs and practitioners;
2. supports an infrastructure to meet such standards;
3. monitoring and accountability systems to ensure compliance with quality standards;
4. ongoing financial assistance that is linked to meeting quality standards; and
5. engagement and outreach strategies.
