A review of the literature on home-based child care: Implications for future directions
The purpose of this two-year project was to review the literature and gather information about strategies that have the greatest potential for improving the quality of care provided by home-based child care providers—including regulated family child care providers and family, friend, and neighbor caregivers—who serve children from low-income families, and then refine or develop one or more specific initiatives that can be implemented and rigorously evaluated. The final products of the project will be:
- A comprehensive and up-to-date review of the literature on quality in home-based child care settings;
- A compendium of the most promising strategies, regardless of the funding source, for improving quality in home-based care;
- Design options for developing initiatives that use a variety of strategies to improve quality in home-based care.
