Both are available on the DCDEE website https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/ , on the home page under the ‘Services’ tab. Preparing for North Carolina's New QRIS System The Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is being modernized to provide more flexible and equitable ways for programs to demonstrate quality. Starting later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways—Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality, or Accreditation—allowing you to align your strengths with the rating method that best fits your program. Now is the time to evaluate your current practices, staff credentials, curriculum use, and classroom interactions to determine which pathway is the best fit. Programs are encouraged to begin preparing for updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools. While existing star ratings will remain valid for now, all new star ratings will be subject to the new system. Your program’s quality should reflect not just compliance—but a commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement. Stay informed, stay proactive, and take advantage of technical assistance and training opportunities as they become available. Technical Assistance Add the enrollment date to the discipline policy you created. In the School-Age Space 5, there are yellow cushions located near the entrance. Wash the cushion covers or replace them with new ones. During today’s visit, we discussed ensuring that the information areas where required documents are posted in the school-age spaces are consistent, with the exception of the activity/lesson plans, which are completed by each group leader. Since each space has its own entrance, this consistency will make it easier for parents to locate and reference required information upon entering the classrooms.

These trainings are free, and participants will receive training certificates when completed.
