Welcome to the QIC-EC
The Quality Improvement Center on Early Childhood is a five-year project to generate and disseminate new knowledge and robust evidence about programs and strategies that contribute to child maltreatment prevention and optimal development for infants and young children (0-5) and their families, including those impacted by HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, or abandonment. A service of the Children’s Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, USDHHS, the QIC-EC was awarded to the Center for the Study of Social Policy, partnering with ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families, and the Alliance of Children’s Trust and Prevention Funds.
