Supporting Babies Through Quality Rating Improvement Systems (QRIS)

Supporting Babies Through QRIS is a series of documents developed by ZERO TO THREE’s Policy Center to help ensure that Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) are supporting the unique developmental needs of infants and toddlers.

The documents present a national review of states’ and jurisdictions’ QRIS that have been implemented statewide and illustrates some examples of QRIS standards and supports that have been included across the nation to help programs promote young children’s development and learning.

The intended audience for these documents includes professionals involved in the development, administration, and implementation of QRIS. Learn more about QRIS standards and supports in other states and how they can be created or modified to purposefully support infants and toddlers.
