About VQB5- Virginia's Quality Measurement and Improvement System

What is VQB5?

The Unified Virginia Quality Birth to Five System (VQB5) is a measurement and improvement system that focuses on the quality of all publicly-funded* birth-five classrooms and supports families to choose quality programming across different program types. VQB5 sets shared expectations for measuring quality and supporting teachers for all birth to five programs.

Through VQB5, teachers and leaders will receive the feedback and support they need to help young children learn. All publicly-funded programs are required to participate in the VQB5 program. Child Care program ratings can be viewed on the VDOE website.

Early childhood programs that do not receive any public funds have the option to participate.

VQB5 provides support and feedback to early childhood programs to help ensure they provide quality care and education. Families can NOW view VQB5 Quality Profiles to see how well programs support children's learning. Virginia has many affordable and high-quality early care and education opportunities. These opportunities help children develop a strong foundation and allow parents to work.
