County Program Profile: Mariposa and Merced Consortium

The QCC County Program Profile provides county data from the Common Data File (CDF) and the Annual Progress Report (APR). For counties that are a part of a consortium, the QCC County Program Profile provides a combined view of the CDF and APR. Both qualitative and quantitative data are presented to provide a local view of early learning and care climate.

QRIS :: Quality Counts Merced County

Quality Counts Merced County uses a five-tier system to communicate the levels of quality to our community. Each tier is described with a quality measure indicator: (1) Emerging Quality, (2) Basic Quality, (3) Quality, (4) High Quality, and (5) High Quality Plus. Programs are awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals in accordance with their quality measure indicator. A bronze medal indicates emerging and basic quality programs, silver indicates quality ratings, and gold is for high quality and high quality plus ratings.
