Virginia Star Quality Initiative

Virginia, along with more than half of the states in the U.S., has designed a system to evaluate and improve the quality of early care and education programs. The system is called the Virginia Star Quality Initiative (VSQI) and is a state-wide, voluntary quality assessment and improvement project for child care that is administered jointly by the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation and the Office of Early Childhood Development.

In the greater Richmond and Petersburg region, VSQI is implemented by Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond (SBGR) in partnership with ChildSavers.
