Revising a Standards-Based QRIS
Session 5: Effective Cross-Sector QRIS: Challenges and Opportunities

Cross-sector QRIS means one that aims for participation by most group early care and education providers, regardless of funding stream or auspice. At a minimum, this includes child care centers and family child care homes, early childhood development programs that receive funding from Pre-K, Head Start or early intervention (even if they are located in a public school), part-day preschools or nursery schools i.e., all publically supported and licensed settings, but not informal caregivers. The recent RTT-Early Learning Challenge encouraged states to create cross-sector QRIS.
