Description
Summary:Delaware was awarded a Race to the TopEarly Learning Challenge grant in December 2011, which provided funding to the state to increase access to and improve the quality of early learning programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. As part of the grant, Delaware is required to evaluate its quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) -- Delaware Stars for Early Success -- and the RAND Corporation was selected as the evaluator to validate the Delaware Stars QRIS. This report, from the second year of the evaluation, addresses program participation and quality ratings, financial incentives, and technical assistance. Evaluation of Delaware Stars for Early Success: Year 2 Report aims to determine whether Delaware Stars providers are advancing in the rating system and whether additional providers serving infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children are joining the QRIS.
