A Focus on Continuous Quality Improvement
Virginia's child care and early learning programs show their commitment to quality by joining Virginia Quality. Virginia Quality offers continuous quality improvement resources and support to participating child care centers, preschools, and family child care homes across Virginia. Virginia Quality also provides reliable and consistent information about early care and education options so that families can select programs according to their values and priorities.
Quality matters
Research shows that quality child care and early learning programs positively impact children’s development, resulting in more success in school and life. Young children’s brains are built from the bottom up, with early experiences setting the stage for all later development.

- Learn about and incorporate best practices in early education and care
- Receive recognition for existing quality work with children and families
- Develop practical goals and strategies to guide program improvement
