We discussed rated license options during our visit. You stated you were wondering if you could have a four-star license based on education alone without doing the scales. I explained that we do not look at only one component of the license but that we look at all three components. WORKS letters would need to be updated to verify the education points. To determine if you will or will not be completing the ERS, you will need to discuss this with WSFCS and your principal. Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements.
