Be sure to get your specific rubric for environmental ratings scoring, approved curriculum offerings and training goals directly from your states website and an updated copy of FCCERS-R or some of those suggestions can cost you much needed points.

2 points cost me a full star last time.

I am starting over to get the last bit of financial offerings available for my DCK's before this, too, is turfed.

How exciting! What did you get from ThirtyOne?

[MrsSteinel'sHouse]

I got the mini Cindy (so wanted - clearance 14.99) the "straw" bag... make up bag, key fob.

Yeah the 31 was fun for me!

I know this post is SO old , but, what did you think of the Redleaf press curriculum? I was thinking about ordering it and can't really find much information on it.

I use it....well mostly just for the assessment portion but I do have the book too!

What are you needing to know about it?

I chose it because it was the most open ended curriculum I could find that still aligned with my state's approved curricula requirements for QRIS.

Thanks for responding.
!. Do you like the assessments? Are they "natural" as far as not intruding with the natural flow of the kids' play?
I need an assessment tool and don't like the ones I've been doing-basically just making my own based on things I've found online. As of now we are not required to use them , but I'm sure that will be changing soon.
2. I've been doing my own "curriculum" for forever, but again, soon I'm sure I will need to have one approved by the state. I'm not a fan of most of the stuff I've seen out there at all. With most other curriculum I can find a sample online, or at least an outline; I have no idea what it's like. Themes, play based...?

The good thing, even if I'm not a fan, it's pretty cheap!
Thanks for any information
