Finds improved quality of family child care after training for non-member providers, suggesting benefits for educators.
In this study, 22 family child care providers participated in a three-month child care training program. Changes in the quality of family child care were measured before and after the program using the Family Day Care Rating Scale. Results indicate that the quality of care by providers who were not members of professional associations were significantly improved after the training. Building on the relationship between provider, professional associations, and quality of child care, implications for Extension educators are presented.
