PITC PARS Instrument
Description
Observe, Document, and Reflect on the Essential Aspects of High-Quality Infant/Toddler Care
The PITC PARS is a tool used to observe essential components of infant/toddler group care—from caregiving interactions to the physical environment to program policies and administrative structures. The instrument enables observers to determine the extent to which family child care and center-based programs promote responsive, relationship-based care for infants and toddlers (ages 0–3).
The instrument is designed to recognize the multifaceted nature of quality for infant/toddler care programs. It includes five primary components of child care quality for infants and toddlers to provide a comprehensive look at program quality. These components, or subscales, each consist of various items and sub-items that allow for the assessment of key aspects of the program.
The PITC PARS Instrument is also available in Chinese and Spanish.
