This document provides an overview of assessment scores based on information collected during the first six years of the Star Rated License implementation (September 1, 1999, to August 31, 2005). It is important to note that these findings primarily apply to the quality of care in programs applying for three, four, or five points in program standards. Therefore, these findings are not based on a representative sample of programs in North Carolina partly because the majority of child care facilities in North Carolina and nearly all current programs with one, two, or three stars have not had an assessment using the rating scale.
