Description: The purpose of this research brief is to provide information that can be used to target and guide content for professional development efforts designed for home-based child care providers. To do this, home-based providers who participated in a large multi-state study were grouped into three quality categories according to their scores on observational measures of teaching and interaction, tone/discipline, provisions for health, instructional supports for literacy, and caregiver sensitivity.
They also examined how providers in the three groups differed in their professional characteristics, their attitudes and supports, and the composition and characteristics of their home-based care settings.
