Quality for ME Revision Project — Final Report

This final report of the Quality for ME Revision Project describes the study of Maine’s child care Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), the consultation with stakeholders, and the study of the scientific literature and best practice from other states, and makes recommendations for changes to Maine’s QRIS.

QRIS in general is a tool for accountability, for improving child outcomes, and for promoting quality child care so that parents can participate fully in the workforce.
