Virginia Quality Birth to Five (VQB5)

Oak and Lily participates in Virginia Quality Birth to Five (VQB5). VQB5 prepares all children for kindergarten, and in response to state law, Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has developed the Unified Virginia Quality Birth to Five System (VQB5) to measure and improve the quality of all publicly funded birth-to-five classrooms and support families to choose quality programming across all types of programs. The VDOE is a state agency that oversees birth to-five early childhood programs including child care centers like Oak and Lily Academy.
