These Childcare Centers Really Rate!

Many childcare centers in Hampton Roads deliver quality early childhood education and care every day.  Now, they can get the recognition they deserve with Virginia’s Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS).  QRIS compares area childcare centers on their levels of quality and provides tools for the centers to make their level of care even better.  Here’s a list of the childcare centers in the QRIS program and their rating.  If your child’s center is not listed, encourage them to call Smart Beginnings to get started.  Quality early childhood education is good for everybody.
