The Kings County Office of Education, Kings County Cares About Quality (KCCAQ) Program conducted a QRIS rating visit with each of the sites listed in the attached document on each of their corresponding “Date of Rating”. A rating is issued when the site has obtained a review from the KCCAQ Program and the program has met certain criteria according to the Quality Improvement and Rating System. Sites may or may not continue to implement systems used to obtain their rating. Although the KCCAQ Program will do everything in its power to obtain updated information for each site, it is the consumer's responsibility to verify with the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Department (CDSS-CCLD) as to whether a site is currently in good standing, in compliance, or in possessions of any outstanding violations: https://secure.dss.ca.gov/CareFacilitySearch/
