Quality Indicators - A Resource List

National After-School Accreditation
 The NAA Standards for School-Age Quality specifically address the indicators of quality programs reflected in current research. Examples include meeting the developmentally different needs of youth, 5-14
years, involving children and youth in program planning, providing positive interactions between children and youth and adults, and ensuring a safe and challenging environment for children and youth in out of
school time.

Travis County Afterschool Network's Quality Self-Assessment Tool
This self-assessment tool provides an opportunity for program leaders and key staff, in collaboration with other stakeholders, to utilize a common set of standards to assess, plan, design and execute strategies for ongoing program improvement. This survey is not intended to be one-size fits all, but easily customized to address the specific goals and activities of each program.

State Child Care Regulations
The National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care has compiled the child care regulations for all of the states in one location.
