QRIS Information

The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) describes the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) as “a method to assess, improve, and communicate the level of quality in early education and care and after-school settings.”
The QRIS system has five levels of quality, and the EEC has shown the importance of this initiative through outreach and training, coaching, funding, and other support to help programs as they move up through the QRIS levels.  Learn more on the EEC website

BOSTnet played a major advisory role in the development of the OST standards and school-based/center-based standards for QRIS, and was an EEC school-age trainer for the QRIS orientation.  We have unparalleled expertise in QRIS implementation, and can support you with every area of your effort to move up to the next QRIS level.
Instead of wrangling consultants, purchasing second-rate training, grappling with self-assessments, and toiling over documentation, contact us to receive timely, expert support in all of your QRIS needs.
