RATED LICENSE TIMELINE: Your facility is in cohort one. As you know you are currently in your prep year. I recommend you consider completing ERS because there are so many benefits that will help prepare you for your reassessment year, which will be sometime between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. If possible, we will align the reassessment with your annual compliance visit timeframe. * Consider requesting an ERS assessment (free of charge) during the preparation year. Remember the scores can be used in a variety of ways. * ERS assessments can be requested during the preparation year and scores can be used as guidance to enhance program quality. * If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment. * Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year. * Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0. These are some things that can be helpful while you are waiting for ERS. •Have all staff update WORKS accounts to reflect all currently completed coursework (DCDEE-WORKS) •Request technical assistance with your child care consultant/ local partners. •Participate in local CCR&R and NCPC quality related training/workshops (CCRR Information) •Reach out to your local Community College to discuss educational opportunities. •Review NCRLAP website ERS resources (www.NCRLAP.org). To help review ERS requirements and think carefully about the current characteristics and practices in your program and classrooms, check out the Thinking More worksheets. A worksheet is available for each subscale of each rating scale. During our discussion today you stated that you would like to consider having ERS done in March. I left a copy of the request form with you today. Early Educator Certificate (EEC) **** The EEC certificate is optional for staff. Although it may cost to go this route it can increase staff’s education points and may help keep or increase the number of STARS the facility has. I highly recommend you contact the NC Institute for Child Development Professionals website at http://ncicdp.org/certification-licensure/certification or by contacting the EEC office at 919-942- 7442 or info@nceec.org The North Carolina Early Childhood Equivalency Exam is a new pathway option comparable to a NC Early Childhood Credential. Applicants who achieve a score of 80% or higher on the NC Early Childhood Equivalency Exam earn the new North Carolina Early Childhood Equivalency Certificate. This certificate is equivalent to a North Carolina Early Childhood Credential and will qualify the individual to be a lead teacher in an early childhood classroom.
