Your state scored a 72 out of 150 possible points ranking them at 13th out of 52.

I think it is BECAUSE they regulate everything. The states that are heavy on regulations are the states that scored the highest.

EACH state has the same recommendation that ANY provider caring for more than one family should be licensed.

Where so you find that information? It would be interesting to look at all the states!

The did a study about child care in the U.S. During a lot of my QRIS trainings/meetings, this study is mentioned. It appears this is the foundation or guidelines that QRIS is going off of as to what each state needs to improve and/or change.

This link gives you the entire study and results. http://www.naccrra.org/about-child-c...ild-care-homes

If you scroll down toward the bottom of the page, it will show you each state listed. Click on your state's pdf file and you will see the findings for your state. Each state has it's strengths and weaknesses listed, their rank and total score as well as what changes are being recommended for each state.

The goal is for each state to improve the quality of care and for there to be one BASIC set of rules/regulations for all child care nationwide.


The most common complaint we hear providers saying in regards to being licensed or not is not wanting the government in their business and telling them how to run their businesses....which is the polar opposite of what they want to happen.

I've said it a ton of times before, but family in-home child care as we know it today will no longer exist in the near future.

oh, this is soooo enlightening. I now have an idea where the whole push for QRIS came from, and who's benefiting.
