Positive Impact! What Programs are saying:

Here is a statement from Administrators about their engagement with CQIS:

“The consultation support was a great experience, and we have no criticism. The support was in line with the needs of our program, well organized, and gave helpful advice along the way. The consultant was supportive, responsive, and easy to work with. The strategies that were shared were practical, easy to understand, and easy to use, and the ongoing communication kept us feeling confident and supported. All in all, the experience was worthwhile and meaningful for our staff, children, and families, and we are very happy with the consultation support we received.” “What worked well was being able to communicate with our consultant virtually and in person. It was so nice to be able to have hands-on help and dedicated support through navigating and overcoming these challenges.”

CQIS Forums

The goal of the CQIS Forums is to provide a professional learning community focused on Continuous Quality Improvement.  Forums are offered bi-monthly (every other month) and are open to all providers interested in Continuous Quality Improvement. We will share resources, and there will be opportunities for Administrators to ask questions and network with colleagues about Continuous Quality Improvement planning and implementation unique to their setting.

Each program is matched to a consultant based on their need and the consultant expertise
