Are you interested in learning more about the BAS (Business Administration Scale) for family child care?  The BAS is a tool that can be used for program self-improvement and is a required component for ExceleRate Illinois.  The McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership offers resources and information to support providers in preparing for an ExceleRate BAS assessment.  This checklist gives a list of categories for which providers are asked to collect documentation as part of a BAS visit. This might be a helpful starting point for learning more about what is included in BAS and for self-evaluating your business.
