In Our Own Words– Child Care Talks Quality and QRS

Listen as two Jackson child care business owners, Deloris Suel and Petra Kay, speak about Mississippi’s Quality Rating system.  Clearly, opposition to the QRS and SB2395 is not opposition to Quality in child care.

Greenwood-based child care provider Debbie Ellis created this segment from the video of the last month’s meeting with Senator Brice Wiggins, sponsor of legislation proposing collaborative pre-K as Mississippi’s first investment of State funds in a pre-Kindergarten program, Senate Bill 2395.

Additional speakers are Senator Albert Butler who arranged the meeting and served as moderator; and, Holly Spivey, representing the State’s Office of Head Start Collaboration.

The 20-minute segment begins with Carol Burnett, MLICCI, discussing the QRS.  MCLICCI has examined the impact of the QRS in a three-year research project funded by the Kellogg Foundation.
