Conditions of Caregiving, Provider Nurturance and Quality Care.
Austin, Ann M. Berghout; Lindauer, Shelley L. Knudsen; Rodriguez, Ariel; Norton, Maria L.; Nelson, Farol A. Groutage
Early Child Development and Care, v135 p21-33 Aug 1997
Examined relationships of child care provider education, presence of children from economically strained homes, and program structure to providers' self-perception, nurturance, and caregiving conditions in 36 licensed family day care homes. Found that when provider self-perceptions were high, but day care clients experienced economic strain, the program structure involved fewer enrichment activities. (Author/KB)
