Category: Environmental Rating Scales

The increasing concern over the effect of child care on children's lives has focused attention on the quality of that care. Since most out-of-home care is provided in family child care homes, the need has grown for an accessible, reliable, and thorough means of assessing the quality and suitability of such settings. Developed through lengthy field testing, research, and revision, the Family Child Care Environmental Rating Scale® consists of 32 items, organized under six major headings: Space and Furnishings for Care and Learning, Basic Care, Language and Reasoning, Learning Activities, Social Development, and Adult Needs.

The spiral binding makes flipping between the scoring sheets and the item notes so much easier during an actual observation. I run a small home daycare and it's helped me spot real gaps in my setup, like my quiet area needing better defined space. Worth every penny for anyone serious about improving

Emma M. ★★★★★

I’ve used this scale in three different family child care settings now, and the item-by-item format makes it so much easier to pinpoint exactly where a provider needs support without being vague. The sections on personal care routines and learning activities are laid out clearly enough that even a f

Finally, a rating tool that respects the reality of home-based care. The subscales break down interactions and space into clear, observable items, which made my self-assessment visits so much more organized than just winging it. It's thorough, but that's exactly what you need when you're trying to i
