| Dear Early Childhood Professional,
Thank you for joining us last week for the Quality Improvement Award (QIA) and Quality Improvement System (QIS) update special meetings. If you were unable to attend, please find the recording below. We met with child care programs based on their child care setting:
• Family Child Care and Large Family Child Care
• Licensed Child Care
• School Districts
*Separate session for State Funded Early Care and Education Program (SFECEP)
Quality Improvement Award applications for licensed child care programs are scheduled to open on September 1, 2025. Qualifying programs will have the opportunity to design a plan with their Quality Improvement Specialists again! Each eligible program may submit one application to support their quality needs in FY26.
The Quality Improvement System (QIS) guide is now available! See below.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Delaware’s children.
Sincerely,
The Early Childhood Excellence Team |
