(Click here for “Automatic rating” and “Alternative Pathway” definition)

PROGRAMMER BOX O6a

Some state or local quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS) do not require programs to go through a full application or review process if the program meets quality standards external to the QRIS (for example, Head Start, state-funded pre-K, and NAEYC-accredited programs).

Automatic ratings award a program a higher rating level without going through the QRIS application or review process, because the program already meets quality standards external to the QRIS. Alternative pathways award a program automatic credit for some (but not all) of the quality components in the QRIS, because the program already meets quality standards external to the QRIS. However, for other quality components the program still has to go through a rating process to receive a higher rating level.
