Remember the scores can be used in a variety of ways. o ERS assessments can be requested during the preparation year and scores can be used as guidance to enhance program quality. o If desired, assessment scores can be used during the preparation year if the operator wants to move forward with a rated license reassessment. o Assessment scores can be saved to use during the reassessment year. o Facilities can request another ERS assessment (free of charge) in your reassessment year for any ERS assessment scoring less than a 5.0 The DCDEE website has changed and has a lot of useful information and resources to help you succeed in providing a safe and healthy environment for the children in your care.
