Raising Quality! is a quality rating improvement system for early care and education programs in San Joaquin County. Funded by quality initiatives and organized by First 5 San Joaquin, Raising Quality! helps improve child care in our community by:
The program is voluntary and open to licensed , privately funded childcare centers, family childcare programs, or family, friend, and neighbor care serving children ages 0-5 who are from low-income families, non-English speakers, and/or have special needs. Raising Quality! provides many opportunities for programs to develop, including materials and supplies to support quality improvement activities, and training and technical assistance.
