An Assessment of the North Carolina School-Age Child Care Accreditation Initiative.
Hall, Alice Henderson; Cassidy, Deborah J.
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v17 n1 p84-96 Fall-Win 2002
Examined whether participating in the North Carolina Quality Enhancement Initiative improved the quality of 26 participating school-age child care programs. Found a significant increase in the quality of child care environments and teacher-child interaction over the 9-month period. State license and smaller group size related to higher quality programs at pre-initiative. Director education, teacher salary, state license, and program size related to greatest program improvement from pre- to post- initiative. (Author/KB)
