What are the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R) and the Family Day Care Rating Scale (FDCRS)/Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale-Revised (FCCERS-R)?
The Environment Rating Scales are tools used by LAUP to assess the program quality of our providers. The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R) is used to assess Center-based programs and the Family Day Care Rating Scale (FDCRS)/Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale-Revised (FCCERS-R) is used to assess Family Child Care Homes. The scales evaluate various interactions that go on in a classroom/learning environment between staff/providers and children, staff/providers, parents, and other adults, among the children themselves, and the interactions children have with the many materials and activities in the environment, as well as those features, such as health and safety, space, schedule and materials that support these interactions. For additional information on how LAUP uses the ECERS-R and FDCRS-R/FCCERS-R, please refer to the LAUP 5-Star Quality Assessment and Improvement System.(can we add a link to the form here or the actual form?
