# Welcome to CQEL's Printable Inspection List Tool

CQEL supports early education leaders in expanding their programs and running them with less stress.

### About this document

### Why we made this

This comprehensive guide has been meticulously crafted by CQEL with the aim of empowering those embarking on the journey of starting a childcare center in California. Recognizing the complexities of such a venture, we've sought to consolidate a wealth of resources and knowledge into this singular, accessible resource. 

Our primary goal is to facilitate the creation of successful early care and education organizations that not only thrive economically but also make a profoundly positive impact on the lives of children and families within your community. CQEL is commited to nurturing the development of the early education sector and recognizes the pivotal role that quality childcare centers play in shaping the future of our society.

## How to use it 

#### Search by text 

By default, search looks for the keywords from your query. For example, searching **preschool director** will return all the books that contain the word "**preschool**" and "**director**" 

#### Exclude results containing a certain word 

You can also narrow your search results by excluding words with the NOT syntax. Searching for Hello returns a massive number of "Hello World" projects, but changing your search to include hello NOT world returns fewer results. 

#### Query for values less/greater than another value 

You can use > or >= to indicate "greater than" and "greater than or equal to," respectively. For example, the following search queries are equivalent: cats stars:">10" and cats stars:">= 11" You can use < and <= to indicate "less than" and "less than or equal to," respectively.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.caqualityearlylearning.org/printable-inspection-list-tool/welcome-to-cqels-printable-inspection-list-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
