Upcoming Sessions
The Question of Quality | Lisa Plotkin 
May 6, 2025 – 10:00 a.m. | Register Here
We often advocate for high quality early care and education for our youngest learners and families in early childhood programs, but what do we mean by “quality”? Do we advocates even mean the same thing when we speak with our elected officials and representatives? Digging into these questions will help us understand and align our advocacy efforts to build strength to advocate for our field. Join us to continue the dialogue!

VDOE VQB5
VQB5 is a measurement and improvement system that focuses on the quality of all publicly-funded birth-five classrooms and supports families to choose quality programming across different program types. VQB5 sets shared expectations for measuring quality and supporting teachers for all birth to five programs. Through VQB5, teachers and leaders will receive the feedback and support they need to help young children learn.
By fall 2023, all publicly-funded programs will be required to participate with ratings shared publicly in fall 2024. Early childhood programs that do not receive any public funds will have the option to participate.
