Licensed Plus

Licensed Plus is a designation in NH’s former Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) that recognizes NH child care programs for efforts to improve the quality of care for young children and rewards programs that strive to improve their practices and staff qualifications.

NH has introduced a new Quality Recognition and Improvement System (QRIS), Granite Steps for Quality. Programs that are currently Licensed Plus may apply for a Step in the new System.

Families may learn more about quality child care by visiting the NH Connections section about Choosing Quality Child Care. Child care programs may learn more about the new QRIS by visiting the Provider section on NH Connections.
