SDQPI Quality Journey Orientation

Learn about how you can participate in the San Diego Quality Preschool Initiative (SDQPI), San Diego’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS).

SDQPI is a robust quality rating and improvement system, based on the state’s model. The SDQPI Quality Journey is designed to help you continually improve the quality of your programs and achieve high-quality ratings within that system.

SDQPI Quality Journey Orientation Description:

• Learn about the “what, why, and how” of SDQPI participation
• Discover the elements of quality defined by SDQPI

YMCA CRS and SDCOE have teamed up to help you integrate key quality practices into your early care and education program. Together will implement SDQPI, with support from First 5 San Diego, the California Department of Education, and First 5 California.
