Any changes should reflect the best practices for young children and should improve the quality of the program on an ongoing basis.

Therefore, it is important for teachers to be aware of what the children enrolled in their classroom experience or would experience at these other times if they attended the extended day programming, even when another teacher is responsible for the children. Therefore, when a classroom includes materials, activities, and a schedule that is developmentally appropriate, the requirements for the many, specific materials found in the ECERS-R should not be surprising for a group of children that includes older two-year-olds.

There are several standard documents that you should be aware and your consultant may have other documents related to the program standards portion of the NC Star Rated License. The ERS are structured, observation based classroom assessments that providecomprehensive coverage of the environment experienced by children (e.g., physical environment, language-reasoning, interactions, program structure, health and safety). If there is only one classroom that fits into the age guideline of a rating scale, then that classroom will be assessed. Additionally, to minimize their impact on the child care environment assessors limit interactions with the children or staff during the assessment and will stay in the background as much as possible when conducting the observation. What Does the ECERS-3 Measure? Depending on the facility type, the interview process may involve the child care provider, the lead classroom teacher, and /or other program staff that take care of children at various times of the day. During the visit, the assessor will observe and take notes on a wide variety of interactions, activities, and materials as required by the rating scale.

Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition (ECERS-3) The Third Edition of the ECERS is a major revision that introduces innovations in both the content and administration of the scale while retaining the continuity of the two principal characteristics of the ECERS, namely its comprehensive or global definition of quality and the reliance on observation as the primary source .

This may include brainstorming with staff, training and technical assistance from local or regional resources, purchasing equipment, rearranging rooms, or reviewing and revising policies, procedures, and daily practices.
