Building on feedback from the field, as well as current research on supporting young children's development and learning, the authors have revised and updated the widely used Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale®. FCCERS-3 is the next-generation assessment tool for use in home-based child care programs for children from infancy through school age (birth to age 12).



FCCERS-3 focuses on the full range of needs of the wide age-range of children often found in family child care programs. Further, the scale assesses both environmental provisions and provider-child interactions that contribute to children's learning and development, including language, cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development, as well as concerns for health and safety.



Suitable for use in inclusive and culturally diverse programs, FCCERS-3 subscales evaluate:

  • Space and Furnishings
  • Personal Care Routines
  • Language and Books
  • Activities
  • Interaction
  • Program Structure

Finally got the updated FCCERS-3 and the expanded guidance on space and furnishings makes it much easier to set up my home daycare room. The color-coded items and clearer examples save me so much time during self-evaluations now.

I was dreading having to redo my assessments for the new edition, but the updated wording is so much clearer than the last one. The revised indicators make it much easier to score a busy day in my home, and the examples really help me see where I'm losing points.
