ARCQE is pleased to share that we have been engaged formally to provide support & service to the Out-of-School Care community working towards accreditation.  Similarly to services provided to Child Care, this will include assistance to programs in the following areas:

  • Standards Checklists & review
  • Support with writing a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

Programs are eligible for a number of sponsored hours in achieving the pre-accreditation steps as identified above once formally enrolled to the accreditation program.  Upon registration, ARCQE will assign a Coach who will contact eligible programs to provide further information about services that will be available.  ARCQE also offers an array of additional services to support and reinforce the three broad program areas by which agencies’ are rated providing services, mentoring and reports relative to:

  • Daily Planned Experiences & Interactions
