Understanding that improving quality is an on-going process that includes careful self-assessment, NC CAP hopes to offer a useful tool that can help programs chart their progress in each of these areas.
Parallel ways for programs to gauge whether they meet quality goals, include:
1. National AfterSchool Association Standards for Quality School-Age Care Accreditation Guideline
2. N.C. Division of Child Development Licensure: 4- or 5-Star Levels
3. School-Age Care Environment Rating Scale Assessment
