Early Care and Education Department

Welcome!  The Family Central Early Care and Education (ECE) Department is proud to oversee the Quality Improvement Supports (QIS) contract (as funded by the ELC of Broward County, Inc.) and other projects that positively impact the lives of young children, their families and their child care providers throughout Broward County. 

The goals of QIS are as follows:

Increase the quality of services delivered by direct child care service providers by being a central and accessible source of information on providing access to coordinated quality improvement supports, providing targeted technical assistance and training in areas that are linked to positive child outcomes. 
  2. Increase the quality of services delivered by direct service providers by being a central and accessible source of information with access to resources to support learning linked to positive child outcomes.
