Consultation Quality Improvement Support  (CQIS)

The CQIS activity is an OEC funded initiative contracted to CTAEYC to provide consultation support aligned but not limited to:

•  CT OEC Licensing Regulations

• State-Funding Grant/Contract           Requirements

​

​

The CQIS initiative augments other CT OEC initiatives such as AQIS and Elevate with an emphasis on system building and continuous quality improvement. The goal of the CQIS initiative is to expand and deliver consultation support available to early care and education programs. Consultation Support shall be tailored to each program's unique needs, delivered by knowledgeable consultants and will utilize the many OEC funded initiatives designed to support continuous quality improvement.

The CQIS initiative will:

​

• increase the number of programs Accredited by NAEYC and/or NAFCC;

• increase the number of children and families who have access to high quality early care and education programs statewide; and

• promote continuous quality improvement and awareness of NAEYC and/or NAFCC Accreditation as a standard of quality statewide.
