Abstract
Examined differences in the quality of care offered by family child care providers who never participated in inservice training, providers who intermittently attended training during their career, and providers who continuously participated in training throughout their career. Seventy licensed family child care providers were visited. Quality of care was measured by the Family Day Care Environment Rating Scale (FDCERS). ANCOVAs indicated that the continual participants were rated higher than the other two groups on the total FDCERS score as well as the Language and Reasoning, Learning Activities, and Basic Care Subscales. Implications for state licensing requirements and professional development opportunities for family child care providers are discussed.
