Yep, I am a center, a small multi age center. The assessments are frustrating, because they walk in and say "where is the toddler room? Where is the 3 year old room? Where is the preschool room?" And I have to spend ten minutes explaining my program. All of you home daycare providers understand "multi age approach" because you live it. The so-called professionals don't get it.
My husband doesn't want the assessment, neither do I. The program is changing next year to be more based on class observation and less on ECCERS and even less on administrative junk. My.accounting methods and staff meetings shouldn't count in judging the.quality level of my program.
