Delaware’s Quality Improvement System

As part of the Delaware early childhood system, DIEEC implements and
informs a continuous quality improvement system to support early care and education programs
and professionals in achieving and maintaining Delaware’s identified quality indicators. Through
the quality improvement system, DIEEC offers tiered technical assistance and professional
learning opportunities for all Delaware early care and education programs and professionals,
including through the implementation of a statewide family child care network for family and
large family child care programs.

The Delaware Quality Improvement System project is funded by the Delaware
Department of Education.
