The Quality Enhancement Project is an activity offered to childcare providers to help improve the quality of childcare for children ages 0-5 in Duplin County. Child Care Resource and Referral Service of Duplin County Partnership for Children creates Quality Enhancement Packages (non-monetary grants) for facilities to enhance their programs. These packages are used to provide extensive training, purchase educational resources and/or small equipment, and to provide workshops.
