The Business Administration Scale for Family Child Care (BAS) is the first valid and reliable tool for measuring and improving the overall quality of business and professional practices in family child care settings. It is applicable for multiple uses, including program self-improvement, technical assistance and monitoring, training, research and evaluation, and public awareness. It is currently embedded in many state quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS) across the nation.

Using a 7-point rating scale (inadequate to excellent), this easy-to-use instrument assesses 10 items:

  • Qualifications and Professional Development

  • Income and Benefits

  • Work Environment

  • Fiscal Management

  • Recordkeeping

  • Provider-Family Communication

  • Family Support and Engagement

  • Marketing and Community Relations

  • Provider as Employer


  • The second edition of the BAS includes refinements to support the reliable use of the instrument and to reflect current best practices in administering a family child care program:
  • The Notes for the BAS items are expanded to increase understanding and facilitate greater consistency in both interpretation and scoring.

  • There is greater emphasis on practices that promote family and community engagement.

  • New national norms for the BAS are reported based on data collected between 2009 and 2017 from 439 home-based programs in 22 states.


  • Use the BAS in conjunction with the Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale–Revised (FCCERS-R) for a comprehensive picture of your family child care learning environment and the business and professional practices that support the program.

    Great little shelf unit
    Color: White, Size: 9.3 D x 19.5 W x 41.8 H in
    Easy to put together by myself. No issues. Took less than an hour to completely assemble. It’s perfect for purpose intended. A top shelf closet organizer for knick knacks and other smaller items.

    These shelves are perfect for organizing my classroom library. The cubes are a little smaller than I expected, so they don’t fit larger picture books well. I was able to make it work by using bins inside the cubes and slanting the bigger books, but just know it’s best for regular-sized books. Since they’re a bit shorter, I stacked two together and it gave me the height I needed. Overall, they look great, were easy to set up, and hold a lot of books in an organized way. My students can easily find what they need, and I really like the clean, simple style.

    Great for the Price

    I needed a cheap little bookshelf for this small play area. The shelf was relatively easy to assemble by myself, and it's sturdy enough to stand on carpeted flooring. I didn't bother installing the safety wall mount because I live in a rental and I can't screw things into the walls. The bookshelf is too small for standard storage cubes, so I purchased a couple of 9-inch cubes from the Dollar Tree and they fit just fine. I might rearrange the contents later.
