Abstract
Past research indicates that positive caregiver behavior is increased as well as enhanced by training and/or formal education. The majority of studies on relations between caregiver training and interaction with children examine caregiving of preschool‐aged children, the purpose of the present study was to examine associations among infant caregivers’ training and the quality of care they provide. The participants were 50 Caucasian female caregivers, ranging in age from 19 to 70 years. Results clearly showed that as training levels of infant caregivers increased, so did mean scores on some dimensions of quality. The fact that higher levels of infant caregiver training had a significant impact on infant personal care and learning activities lends credibility to the importance of training for infant caregivers. Our method for scoring caregiver training levels has promise for research on child care.
