Oakland’s ECE department is a part of Alameda County First Five’s Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS), which is funded by California’s RACE TO THE TOP – EARLY LEARNING CHALLENGE GRANT. The purpose of the award allows First Five to coordinate quality improvement programs and strengthen partnerships in order to ensure effective and accountable use of limited resources.
The process of building a QRIS will ultimately result in:
A shared definition of childcare quality based on reliable and validated research
A comprehensive and consistent approach to assess quality
A design to evaluate the rating system and its impact
Access to an aligned system that supports quality improvement
A consistent way for providers to communicate to parents and caregiver about quality, and increased consumer awareness about – and demand for – high quality childcare
