5 STAR Q.R.I.S Rating

Program standards are markers of quality that have been established by experts. Standard development is influenced by the goals and theory of change the state or region adopts for improving the quality of early learning for children and families (Schilder, Iruka, Dichter, & Mathias, 2015). Standards are established in areas critical to effective programming and might also encompass areas related to improved child outcomes and school readiness. They are used to measure and assign ratings to programs that participate in quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS), providing families, policymakers, funders, and the public with information about the components and levels of quality.
