PITC PARS Subscale Guides

Each of the five Subscale Guides help users of the PITC PARS Instrument become familiar with the specific aspects of quality measured by the sub-items in each of the five respective PITC PARS subscales.
 


The PITC PARS Subscale Guides provide information about the intent of each sub-item, definitions of key terms, guidance for observing sub-items, and examples that demonstrate the sub-item in action. Together, these elements facilitate in-depth understanding for how to interpret each sub-item, which types of evidence to gather, and how to evaluate the evidence collected.

Subscale I. Quality of Adult’s Interactions with Children is about the responsiveness of individual teachers’ interactions with the infants and toddlers in their care.
 
Subscale II. Family Partnerships, Cultural Responsiveness, and Inclusive Care is about the extent to which caregiving practices, the care environment, and program policies are responsive to cultural and family practices as well as the unique needs of infants and toddlers.
 
Subscale III. Organization of Group Care is about the extent to which caregiving practices and program procedures meet infants’ and toddlers’ individual needs through predictable and supportive relationships with one or two care teachers.
 
Subscale IV. Physical Environment is about the extent to which the program provides indoor and outdoor environments that support infants’ and toddlers’ developmental interests and needs.
 
Subscale V. Routines and Record Keeping is about the extent to which caregiving routines and program procedures promote infants’ and toddlers’ safety and health.

The PITC PARS Subscale Guides are also available in Chinese and Spanish.
