AVANCE's Quality Child Care Matters (QCCM) program helps family and home-based child care educators improve the quality of care they offer. Through monthly training sessions, ongoing coaching and a supportive peer network, QCCM helps providers adopt effective practices, meet state licensing standards and work toward Texas Rising Star certification.
Program evaluation
As a research partner, the Kinder Institute is helping to measure the impact of the QCCM program on providers' skills, practices and business operations. AVANCE data will be combined with interviews from leadership, program facilitators and participants for a better understanding of program implementation, experiences and areas for improvement.
