The long-anticipated new version of the internationally recognized Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, ECERS-3, focuses on the full range of needs of preschool- and kindergarten-aged children.

ECERS-3 also includes additional Items assessing developmentally appropriate literacy and math activities.
Designed for preschool, kindergarten, and child care classrooms serving children 3 through 5 years of age, ECERS-3:Provides a smooth transition for those already using ECERS-R.Emphasizes the role of the teacher in creating an environment conducive to developmental gains.Is designed to predict child outcomes more accurately and with greater precision.Provides a stronger method of distinguishing between good and truly excellent programs.Offers a complete training program with ongoing support available at the Environment Rating Scales Institute (ERSI) website (www.ersi.info).
