Quality Assurance and Monitoring

Quality assurance and monitoring is an essential component to the Early Learning Coalition of Marion County. Effective monitoring is the key to ensuring that quality is the main ingredient in all our programming.

The Coalition monitors early learning services and programs, resource and referral services, and voluntary pre-kindergarten eligibility and enrollment services all contracted through our central agency, Childhood Development Services, Inc. (CDS). The Coalition also monitors funded summer programs and grant funded programs. We also complete health and safety checklists for registered, license exempt, and informal childcare providers in order to provide them with the information needed to provide a healthy and safe environment for the children in their care.

The Coalition's programming and fiscal activities are monitored by the Agency for Workforce Innovation/Office of Early Learning in Tallahassee, as well as an annual independent financial audit.
