Abstract	A primary goal of North Carolina's Quality Rating Improvement System is to encourage early childhood education sites to maintain and improve their programmatic and educational quality. Because higher quality sites can better support young children's school readiness, it is important for education leaders to understand the complex factors that may be associated with better quality in early childhood education sites. Understanding the predictors of quality can help policymakers direct resources to sites in ways that can improve quality. Some prior research has shown that the geographic location and the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the neighborhood in which early childhood education sites are located may be related to their quality, but the research is limited. This snapshot presents key findings from a study that explored whether knowing more about the location of early childhood education sites and the characteristics of the neighborhood (in this case, the census tract) in which they are situated would improve understanding of the factors that contribute to the quality of early childhood education opportunities available across North Carolina.
