Every step of our work with programs is designed to support them without adding burden on top of their already busy schedules. There is no one-size-fits-all Quality Improvement Plan for every program. Quality Improvement Plans are developed in close partnership with a dedicated Quality Improvement Specialist using the QUALITYstarsNY Standards as the framework for high-quality practices in early childhood education. To support their Plans, we do provide guidelines for participants to help them feel equipped to reach their goals.
To access QUALITYstarsNY support and resources, participants must sign and adhere to the expectations outlined in the QUALITYstarsNY Participant Agreement. The Participant Agreement is designed to ensure that programs are actively engaged in the Continuous Quality Improvement process so QUALITYstarsNY support and resources are being best utilized to increase and sustain the quality of early childhood education across the state.
