Get your updated certificate now. Set a goal for the upcoming year and receive $250 after completing your reflection on the goal. Fill out the QI Cycle Participation form to get started.
Resubmit your portfolio for a higher rating (There is a 2022 version that may be
easier to complete and show evidence for. If you choose to resubmit and want the updated
version let us know.)
Contact qrishelp@wou.edu if you would like to have the 2022 version.
Submit a renewal portfolio (a shorter version) with evidence on how
standards are continuing to be met. This is if you wish to remain at the same star level.
Have an on-site observation done on your program and tell us how you addressed one growth opportunity as a result.
Implement quality improvements in your program based on goals identified in collaboration with a professional (QIS, coach, or mentor) from an outside agency. (Someone from your local Child Care Resource and Referral, for example.)
