This brief describes programs' ratings across the nine Round 1 RTT-ELC states, which had different TQRIS characteristics and policies in place during the grant period (2012 to 2016). Over this period, individual states changed few of their TQRIS characteristics and policies. TQRIS characteristics could affect all programs within a state, but the policies were often directed at particular types of programs. Thus, this brief presents patterns for several key TQRIS characteristics and policies, individual states, and four types of programs: (1) state-funded prekindergarten (pre-K) programs, (2) Head Start programs, (3) licensed centers that received child care subsidies, and (4) licensed centers that did not receive subsidies. The first three types of programs--state-funded pre-K, Head Start, and licensed centers that received subsidies--serve low-income children; the last type might serve fewer low-income children because they do not receive public funding to do so.
