    Summary

    The purpose of the fiscal year (FY) 2019–20 Quality Counts California (QCC) Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) Block Grant is to support local QRIS consortia to provide training, technical assistance, and resources to help early learning and care (ELC) providers meet a higher tier of quality as determined by their local QRIS. The California Department of Education (CDE) envisions that a local QRIS consortium or Tribal region will use the QCC QRIS Block Grant funding to support local ELC programs serving children birth to five and to increase the number of low-income children in high-quality early learning settings.

    The goal is to increase quality across the continuum of ELC settings ranging from family, friend and neighbor (FFN) to licensed family child care homes and centers. While a rating is not applicable for all settings, at a minimum, ELC settings and providers can participate in the quality improvement system (QIS) portion of QCC. As settings become more ready, the goal is to have more ELC settings in the QRIS, as applicable.
