摘要
There are continuing concerns about the quality of care offered in family child care homes. One concern is the relationship between regulated structural indicators of quality (training, education, and experience) and process quality indicators (provider engagement with children). This study examined (1) the relationship between structural and process indicators and (2) provider knowledge in predicting process quality. Results suggested that structural indicators of licensure and training were significantly related to process quality. In addition, provider knowledge of child development and health care practices were significant predictors of process quality above structural indicators. Recommendations for trainers and regulatory agencies are discussed. © 2000 Human Sciences Press, Inc.
