The QCC County Program Profile provides county data from the Common Data File (CDF) and the Annual Progress Report (APR). For counties that are a part of a consortium, the QCC County Program Profile provides a combined view of the CDF and APR. Both qualitative and quantitative data are presented to provide a local view of early learning and care climate.

Early childhood programs in Siskiyou County are primarily served by either the Siskiyou Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) (administered jointly by First 5 Siskiyou and Siskiyou County Office of Education) or North State QRIS (via the California State Preschool Program [CSPP] QRIS and Infant/Toddler QRIS block grants administered by Shasta County Office of Education). Since 2016, approximately 31 Siskiyou sites have received mentor coaching, training, technical assistance, classroom materials, program assessments, and other supports to improve program quality.

As a frontier county, we have capitalized on existing relationships and have onboarded all California State Preschool Programs (CSPPs), all Head Start programs, and nearly all licensed child care centers. In addition, we have onboarded several family child care homes and alternative sites based on our current capacity. Eligibility is based on first come, first served basis and current capacity. Our most effective strategies are word of mouth and existing relationships. Programs can start as soon as there is an opening and begin to participate fully.

All sites are provided coaching, technical assistance, local and regional trainings, and incentivized trainings.

Based on individualized program goals, each site receives financial and technical assistance incentives and stipends.
