A thorough revision of the ECERS, designed to assess group programs for children of preschool through kindergarten age, 2½ through 5 years. Scale consists of 43 items organized into 7 subscales: Space and Furnishings, Personal Care Routines, Language-Reasoning, Activities, Interactions, Program Structure, and Parents and Staff. The revised ECERS contains inclusive and culturally sensitive indicators for many items. Also, new items have been added on Interaction (staff-child, child-child, and discipline), Curriculum (nature/science and math/number), Health & Safety, and Parents & Staff.   Featuring a new spiral binding, the updated ECERS-R offers more practical assistance in the form of additional notes for clarification and an Expanded Score Sheet, which incorporates notes and tables to assist in scoring.
