What is Early Achievers?
Early Achievers is Washington State’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) for licensed childcare and early learning programs. It measures how well childcare centers support children’s learning and development across key areas such as:
- Teacher-child interactions
- Learning environments
- Professional development for staff
- Family engagement
- Health and safety practices
Our Achievement – Level “5” — The Highest Possible Rating!
Children’s Village is proud to have earned a Level 5 Early Achievers rating — the highest possible score.
Two of the three Level 5–rated early learning centers in Vancouver are Children’s Village locations, placing us among the top 5% of childcare programs in Washington. This recognition reflects our commitment to high-quality care, strong family partnerships, and outstanding early learning experiences.
