This presentation provides an overview of the 2018 Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and explores the quality activities that count toward the quality set-aside.
In this presentation, two leaders from the National Center on Afterschool and Summer Enrichment (NCASE) explore strategies for creating a successful plan to incorporate out-of-school programs in quality improvement and quality improvement systems (QRIS) and share the lessons learned from a peer learning community.
This report provides information on participation in Parent Aware, Minnesota's QRIS, including growth of Parent Aware rated programs over time, future growth projections, rated programs by Star levels, and more.
This resource provides information on sustaining quality improvement via two instructional leadership and coaching models: Lead Learn Excel and the Lastinger Coaching Model.
This research report examines how states and territories
are addressing, or plan to address, new requirements and
goals of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
reauthorization law related to access to early care and
education (ECE) services described in their 2016–2018
FY state/territory CCDF plans.
In March 2016, the Minnesota Department of Human
Services (Department) released a brief, “Participation in
Parent Aware Ratings across Minnesota.” This is the
annual update. The report highlights the percent of
licensed child care1 rated:
• By Parent Aware
• With higher (Three- or Four-Star Rating), or
lower (One- or Two-Star Rating) Star-Ratings.
The following table provides the websites for states’ QRIS standards compiled by the National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance
(ECQA Center). States often have multiple sets of standards for specific types of early care and education providers, such as child care centers,
family child care (FCC) homes, and school-age programs.
This paper offers a retrospective
on the design and delivery of the Learning
Table, along with lessons learned to inform
development of future opportunities to
improve early learning policy.
