Additional Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) Participation Options in the CDD-801A Report
The Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) Participating information field in the CDD-801A report indicates the type of quality child care available to children and families (if any). The QRIS is a method for rating the quality of child care for a child receiving subsidized child care services through an agency's contract with the Early Education Division (EED). The CDD-801A report is making additional options to this field.
Although the California Code of Regulations, Title 5 mandates that all state funded child development programs implement certain elements of quality, there is no requirement for participation in a local QRIS. A QRIS is a set of ratings, graduated by level of quality, used to assess early learning and care programs. In addition to the existing selections available in the CDD-801A report for the QRIS field, the CDMIS Office has added six (6) options. Below is a list of all options now available for the QRIS field:
- 0 – No. Provider is eligible but does not participate in a QRIS.
- 1 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS and tier rank is 1.
- 2 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS and tier rank is 2.
- 3 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS and tier rank is 3.
- 4 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS and tier rank is 4.
- 5 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS and tier rank is 5.
- 6 – Yes. Provider does participate in a QRIS but is not yet rated.
- 7 – The State has an operating QRIS in the provider's area, but the provider is not eligible to participate.
- 8 – The State does not have an operating QRIS in the provider's area.
- 9 – The State has an operating QRIS in the provider's area but information is currently unavailable at the provider level.
More information on the QRIS field can be found in the QRIS data definitions webpage.
