A QRIS is a system that evaluates and rates childcare programs based on specific quality indicators such as curriculum, teacher qualifications, health and safety standards, and family engagement. The goal is to provide a transparent rating system that helps parents make informed decisions and encourages childcare providers to continuously improve their quality of care.

In terms of the correct statement about childcare centers, the correct option is D. Childcare centers voluntarily enroll in a QRIS system and agree to have their program evaluated. QRIS is not mandated by law (option A), not automatic upon applying for a license (option B), and not a requirement for licensing (option C). Childcare centers choose to participate in a QRIS system to demonstrate their commitment to quality and receive recognition for their efforts.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services Day Care Requirements (DHHSDCR), the maximum allowable group size for children between three years and six years in a federally funded child care center is 18 (option D).

For Maria and Christina, who want to keep taxes low and limit Christina's liability to the amount of her original investment, a limited partnership (option A) would be the best business arrangement. In a limited partnership, one partner has unlimited liability while the other partner's liability is limited to their investment.
