Beginning later this year, providers will be able to choose from three star-rating pathways: Program Assessment, Classroom & Instructional Quality Accreditation. This new approach allows programs to align their strengths with the pathway that best fits their operations. Now is the time to prepare. Programs should begin evaluating staff qualifications including updating staff education in NC Works, curriculum, and classroom interactions to determine the most suitable pathway. Updates to staff qualification standards and assessment tools are expected, and while current star ratings remain valid for now, all new ratings will be issued under the revised QRIS system. Your program’s quality should reflect not only compliance, but also a strong commitment to best practices, child development, and continuous improvement. Providers are encouraged to take advantage of available technical assistance and training opportunities. Please visit the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/, click on What’s New then select QRIS Modernization from the drop-down list. Review the Pathways and start thinking about which pathway you would like to choose to earn your 2-5 Star license. As you prepare for the QRIS be sure to double-check that all your staff’s education is listed in NC Works. The link is located on the DCDEE website under Services, select the drop-down box and select DCDEE Works. At the completion of the visit, this visit summary was reviewed with and provided to you.
