B. OVERVIEW OF THE ASSESSMENT TOOL

1. This Assessment Tool is based on the Standards and Guidelines for the Center-based Early Childhood Programs for 0 to 4 Years Old Filipino
Children. It is intended to be used for the Granting of Recognition to Public and Private Child Development Centers/Learning Centers. The Tool
contains Standards, Guidelines and Indicators. Standards are written general statements of actions, behavior, characteristics and conditions agreed
by stakeholders against which others are judged or measured while Guidelines are statements that determine courses of action which aim to
streamline particular processes according to sound practices. The Indicators and Sub-indicators are specific statements of actions, behaviors,
characteristics and conditions agreed to by the stakeholders, the presence of which tells whether a standard has been fulfilled.
It has the following areas with the number of indicators and sub-indicators and the maximum points that a public or private CDC/LC will get after
the evaluation.

2. The Evaluator(s) shall fill up Table 2 or Summary Sheet for the Public/Private CDC/LC. This Sheet has five (5)
columns: Areas, Maximum Points (for Public/Private CDC/LC), 75% Level of Compliance, Average Maximum Points
Earned and Rating (Complied With or Not Complied With the Requirements). The Column on the 75% Level of
Compliance indicates the Minimum Points that the CDC/LC should earn in each Area in order to qualify for
Recognition.
3. The Evaluator(s) shall fill up the column on the Average Maximum Points Earned.
4. For the column on Rating, the Evaluator(s) shall compare the Average Maximum Points Earned with the Points
indicated in the 75% Level of Compliance for each area. If the Points are the same or exceed the 75% Level of
Compliance, the Evaluator(s) will write Complied with Requirements. If not, the Evaluator(s) will write Not Complied
Requirements.
5. If the CDC/LC has earned Complied With Requirements in all the seven (7) Areas, it is qualified for Recognition.

F. How to Compute the Level of Recognition

1. The Evaluator(s) shall add the Average Maximum Points Earned in the seven (7) Areas for the Total Average
Maximum Points Earned. Then the level of Recognition shall be computed.
2. If the Total Average Maximum Points Earned by the CDC/LC meets the 75% to 85% or (157-179) of the Total
Maximum Points, it is awarded Level 1 Recognition or Satisfactory Rating. This means that the Center has
demonstrated Mandatory Compliance with the Standards and Guidelines that shows effectiveness of quality service
implementation and the CDC/LC enjoys 3 years autonomy for its Level 1 Recognition.
3. If the Total Average Maximum Points Earned by the CDC meets the 86% to 95% or (180-200) of the Total
Maximum Points, it is awarded Level 2 Recognition or Very Satisfactory Rating. This means that the Center has
demonstrated Optimal Compliance with the Standards and Guidelines that increases the effectiveness of quality
service implementation and the CDC/LC enjoys 4 years autonomy for its Level 2 Recognition.
4. If the Total Average Maximum Points Earned by the CDC/LC meets the 96% to 100% or (201-210) of the Total
Maximum Points, it is rewarded Level 3 Recognition or Outstanding Rating. This means that the Center has
demonstrated the Highest Compliance with the Standards and Guidelines that makes the Center, a Center of
Excellence and the CDC/LC enjoys 5 years autonomy for its Level 3 Recognition.
