QRIS Star Rating 

All of our preschool classrooms have achieved a 4- or 5-star QRIS rating from the Orange County Department of Education. This rating reflects the highest quality for preschool programs. 

 

The school readiness initiatives of NMUSD receive partial funding from a partnership with First 5 Orange County. Together, NMUSD and First 5 Orange County are utilizing the Early Development Index (EDI) data to inform teachers, parents, and communities about ways to create supportive services and environments that enable children, parents, and caregivers to learn and thrive, promoting healthy development. For more information on the Early Development Index (EDI), please visit NMUSD’s EDI Information webpage or First 5 Orange County’s EDI webpage.
