KYOSA ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

Quality Enhancement through System Building Project (QESB): In effort to better address the needs of school-age out-of-school time programs and to increase the quality of out-of-school time services for children and youth, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Division of Child Care; Kentucky Department of Education, 21st Century Community Learning Centers; and the Kentucky Out-of-School Alliance formed a collaborative partnership to create the Kentucky School-Age Quality Framework.

Framework Development: The development of this framework will involve building off existing systems (where possible), forging new partnerships, and linking providers and additional agencies to support greater collaboration. The success of this project will be dependent in-part to mutual respect for and recognition of the diversity of providers, their perspectives, valuable resources, and identified needs.

Quality Framework Components Include: 
  • Kentucky School-Age Program Standards
  • Kentucky School-Age Staff Core Competencies
  • Kentucky School-Age Credential
  • Kentucky School-Age Trainer/Training Information Resource
  • Kentucky School-Age Regulation Modifications
  • Kentucky School-Age Accreditation and Quality Rating Systems
Committee Work: Statewide work groups have been formed to support the development of each of the framework components. If you are a school-age program provider or a stakeholder and would like to serve on a work group, please contact KYOSA at 502-607-8900 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
