Designing Quality Rating Systems Inclusive of Infants and Toddlers

The National Infant and Toddler Child Care Initiative at ZERO TO THREE has released new information on the design of Quality Rating Systems in states. Quality Rating Systems are being implemented in States, Tribes and Territories to establish a means to both define and promote quality in child care settings. Given the developmental needs of very young children, this new document offers suggestions for the intentional inclusion of quality indicators for infants and toddlers within Quality Rating Systems.
