Abstract

ABSTRACT Although the positive impact of early childhood intervention has been well supported, fewer children in kinship families are enrolled in these programs. The current study highlights outcomes from the Kin As Teachers (KAT) 2.0 Program, designed to address the unique needs of relative caregivers raising children from birth to kindergarten entry. Results showed improved safety of the home environment and improved developmental outcomes for children raised by grandparents and other relatives. This study provides the first evidence for an adjunctive program to existing kinship navigator programs specifically designed to benefit early childhood well-being for kinship children.
