QRIS :: Kings County CARES About Quality

Kings County CARES About Quality (KCCAQ) has four coaches assisting sites; however, we also have contracted with our partner agencies to provide on-site coaches with which KCCAQ provides continuous training and support.

Testimonial

KCCAQ-CARES program has overall raised the quality of care in my child care home. Being able to do in-class trainings and in-home coaching made it convenient and a great experience. Their program prepared me for ratings, and improved communication and relationships with my clients. Being part of their program also gave more awareness to the importance of the first 5 years and made me more aware of staying up to date on state changes.
