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. FCCERS-3 is appropriate for state- and district-wide QRIS and continuous quality improvement, for provider self-assessment, and as a learning or monitoring tool within networks of family providers. The established reliability and validity of the scale make it particularly useful for research and program evaluation with family child care programs. While the approach to assessing quality and the scoring process remain the same for the new FCCERS-3, users will find the following improvements informed by extensive use of the FCCERS in the field and by the most recent research: Enhanced focus on interactions and the role of the provider. Six new language and literacy Items. A new Item on math experiences. A new approach to scoring based solely on observation of ongoing program activity (3-hour time sample). The elimination of the Parents and Provider subscale and provider interview, freeing up time for observing more actual programming. Improved indicator scaling, providing more precise and useful scores for use in self-improvement and professional development. Reduced emphasis on the number of materials, along with greater emphasis on how materials are used to encourage learning. 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 For further information, please visit the Environment Rating Scales Website: ers.fpg.unc.edu

Based on the research and experience of Dr. Bellamy, this definitive reference work, months in the making, is one of the most complete and authoritative evaluations of early care and education made available to the public. As welfare reforms put more mothers back to work and off public assistance, the need for quality child care in the new millennium will reach an all-time high. Cities throughout the country are facing the ultimate question: How does the government help families become self-sufficient and productive without jeopardizing quality care and development of the children? This book provides a critical look at welfare reforms and at families who struggle to comply with policy guidelines without compromising the care and development of their young children. Here, in a warm and jargon-free style, a single work offers families all the practical information needed to select the best quality in child care for their young children. Educators and child care officials will find in this work a reservoir of information designed for excellence in early care and education. Policymakers will find this work a priceless source in shaping welfare reforms.

The Business Administration Scale for Family Child Care (BAS) is the first valid and reliable tool for measuring and improving the overall quality of business and professional practices in family child care settings. It is applicable for multiple uses, including program self-improvement, technical assistance and monitoring, training, research and evaluation, and public awareness. It is currently embedded in many state quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS) across the nation. Using a 7-point rating scale (inadequate to excellent), this easy-to-use instrument assesses 10 items: Qualifications and Professional Development Income and Benefits Work Environment Fiscal Management Recordkeeping Provider-Family Communication Family Support and Engagement Marketing and Community Relations Provider as Employer The second edition of the BAS includes refinements to support the reliable use of the instrument and to reflect current best practices in administering a family child care program: The Notes for the BAS items are expanded to increase understanding and facilitate greater consistency in both interpretation and scoring. There is greater emphasis on practices that promote family and community engagement. New national norms for the BAS are reported based on data collected between 2009 and 2017 from 439 home-based programs in 22 states. Use the BAS second edition with the Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale (FCCERS-3 or FCCERS-R) for a comprehensive picture of your family child care learning environment and the business and professional practices that support the program.

Family day care or childminding plays a significant role in the provision of childcare in many countries, but is facing new challenges. Bringing together theory, research and knowledge from practice, this topical book presents a variety of informative perspectives on this important service. Contributors from ten countries draw on their recent research to examine how family day care has developed in differing economic and social climates. Covering the views of policy makers, childcare providers and parents, the book includes discussion of: * levels of government intervention * training and support for providers, including childminding networks * creating partnership between parents and carers * defining quality and raising standards * the future of family day care. By illuminating different approaches that will inform understanding and can contribute to the formation of effective policies and practice, this book will be a useful resource for policy makers, researchers, childcare service providers, students on childcare courses and others with an interest in child care policy.

Abstract: A rating scale for children in day care, developed by the Southeastern Day Care Project (SDCP) is presented for use in evaluating children's developmental progress. The scale consists of standardized behavior traits recognized in children from infancy through 5 years of age. Items are related to objectives for the children and have been agreed upon by both parents and professionals in the fields of child development and early childhood education. The easy-to-use scale can be administered by any day care staff member and is designed to provide immediate feedback to those responsible for planning day care programs and to avoid the labeling that sometimes results from misuse of test scores. Rating scale items measure specific outcomes, things that can be observed, and experiences that are part of a child's everyday world. Ratings for the infant and two-year-old require simple observation; the others require more specific observation, but can easily be accomplished with minimal changes in routine activities over a one or two-week period. Categories of development examined in two to five-year-olds are 1) cognitive (e.g. verbal and communication), 2) social and emotional, 3) motor skills, 4) hygiene and self-help. Ratings are based on a "yes" or "no" response to each item. Common examples, interpretations, and specific explanations for some items on the rating forms are provided to help ensure consistency among raters in item evaluation. Copies of the rating forms used in the SDCP method of evaluation are provided. Each includes background information (e.g. child's name, date of birth, date of rating, rater's name) as well as specific items to be evaluated. (aj).

As a result of the generally low quality of child care in the United States, quality rating and improvement systems (QRISs) are proliferating in the child-care arena. This study examines the QRIS developed by Qualistar Early Learning, a nonprofit organization based in Colorado, evaluating how reliable the system's components are, whether the QRIS process helped providers to improve, and whether and how much children benefit from such improvement.
