Using CLASS® in VQB5

At EBDC, we’re proud to participate in Virginia’s Quality Birth to Five (VQB5) system — a statewide effort to ensure every child has access to high-quality early learning.
A big part of how quality is measured in VQB5 is through CLASS® — the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. Developed at the University of Virginia, CLASS® focuses on what matters most in early education: the quality of interactions between teachers and children.

About Us

At EBDC, we’re all about building bright beginnings. We provide a safe, joyful, and inspiring space for children from six weeks to ten years old — a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and every milestone matters.
We believe the early years shape everything. That’s why our classrooms are full of connection, play, and discovery — less screen time, more real time. Every day, children explore, move, imagine, and grow through hands-on experiences that spark both the mind and heart.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to help raise confident, kind, and capable kids — and to give parents peace of mind knowing their child is growing in a community that truly cares.
