McCormick Institute for Early Childhood

BY McCormick Center | July 1, 2015


This documentation list includes possible documentation to verify criteria. This documentation list was compiled to help providers prepare for an upcoming BAS visit. The list includes each of the 10 items in the Business Administration Scale for Family Child Care and the indicator strands/rows (e.g., 1.1, 3.1, 5.1, and 7.1) that comprise each item and require documentation. The corresponding criteria associated with each indicator strand describe the evidence that is needed to demonstrate that the criteria are met. It is recommended that people who are familiar with the BAS use this long version to prepare for the assessment, the short version should be used by people who are less familiar with the BAS and have not had BAS training.
