Quality Improvement Systems have a variety of participation rules for each program type. Every QIS that has licensed center-based programs and licensed family child care programs within their geographic area allows both program types to participate (46 QIS and 45 QIS, respectively). More than half of QIS allow licensed centers and family child care programs to participate voluntarily. License-exempt centers are eligible to participate in 15 QIS; license-exempt homes are eligible to participate in 12 QIS.  

The charts below outline the participation rule for each program type. Note that there may be additional participation rules based on receipt of certain funding streams (e.g., CCDF subsidies), which are not presented in these visuals.
