Early Childhood Test Page

Twelve team members with the Early Childhood section recently earned national credentials demonstrating their commitment to high standards, best practices and responsibilities relating to child care licensing.

Starting Sept. 1, 2025, the bonus amounts paid through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) based on child care providers’ Bright & Early ND Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) level will change.

As the Best in Class program marks its 5th anniversary, North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS) has received new funding to expand the program and provide more children with high-quality early childhood experiences.
