Brightmoor Childcare Quality Initiative

Our ECE Owner's are rated through the states quality rating information system (QRIS) with goals of increasing at least one level. All participating programs are privately owned (home, group and center).

BQI is 100% women-owned businesses. Each of our ECE Owners have access to leverage funding to enhance professional development for themselves and their staff, scholarships to aid families in having access to high quality programs along with working with multiple community partners to providing additional resources to the children and families we serve.

The goal of BQI is to provide high quality early childhood programs for families accessing state subsidy or those who cannot afford to pay, while helping sustain the private childcare slots within Brightmoor.

Improving early childcare

Through our application process, we seek to understand the needs and aspirations of early childcare businesses.

Join us in elevating childcare excellence in Brightmoor!

Our goal is the overall improvement of early childcare program’s quality.
