What are the NC Additional Notes?
The NC Additional Notes provide supplementary information to help NCRLAP assessors interpret and make scoring decisions when using the Environment Rating Scales for NC Star Rated License Assessments. These notes are also intended to provide additional information for the public on requirements for specific indicators that are commonly questioned or misunderstood during the assessment process in North Carolina.
The Importance of the NC Additional Notes
Because they provide additional information for many items in the rating scales, the NC Additional Notes are an authoritative resource for child care providers, quality enhancement staff, and child care consultants when preparing for an assessment. Our recommendation is that anyone using the rating scales for the star rated license should consult the NC Additional Notes.
How can I get a copy of the NC Additional Notes?
Each of the rating scales has a set of notes and these can be viewed and printed by selecting a link above. If you are participating in an assessment for the NC Star Rated License, we would be glad to mail the NC Notes along with the other materials we send before your assessment. Just tell your scheduler that you want us to send you the NC Additional Notes during the scheduling conversation.
How are the NC Additional Notes written?
The NC Additional Notes are written by our State Anchors to provide the "final word" regarding how our staff should interpret and score indicators found in the rating scales.
