We conduct observations using the Environment Rating Scales for programs and providers across the state, seeking a Level 3-5 for our state’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), Colorado Shines. We review all documentation programs and providers submit as part of their rating and assign scores for each of the rating components: Workforce Qualifications, Family Partnerships, Leadership, Management and Administration, Learning Environment, and Child Health. We also coordinate scheduling and orientations for programs that have applied for the Level 3-5 rating. Visit the Colorado Shines website for more information.
