The Strong Minds Network is Palm Beach County’s Quality Rating and Improvement System
The Strong Minds Network places emphasis on achieving child outcomes through more effective teacher-child interactions. Studies have shown when children experience effective teacher-child interactions in their early learning environment, they are more likely to be ready to learn upon entering kindergarten.
The Strong Minds Network focuses on resources that support the child care provider’s ability to improve the quality of the learning environment and, in particular, the effectiveness of the teacher-child interaction.
The ultimate goal of the Strong Minds Network is to improve the lives and learning of children by improving outcomes in the following areas:
Improving child care providers’ learning environment for children
- Improving child care practitioner’s quality and practice
- Improving family engagement
- Improving child’s development and kindergarten readiness
