“…Evidence supports that video-based modeling approaches can be both effective and efficient for training parents, teachers, and child care providers (Aguirre & Marshall, 1988; Taylor, Schmidt, Pepler, & Hodgins, 1998; Webster-Stratton, Hollinsworth, & Kolpacoff, 1989; Webster-Stratton et al, 2001). The video presentation was designed to feature “real-life” demonstrations of examples in family child care settings.…”

The quality of the child care environment and caregiver practices can potentially have significant, lasting impact on children's social development. This study involves the development and a smallscale efficacy trial of the Carescapes program, a video-based training program that focuses on promoting positive social development in young children attending family child care. Fifty-seven caregivers who provided child care in their homes were randomly assigned to immediate intervention or waitlist control groups. Random coefficients analyses showed significant increased use of effective behavior management practices and decreased overall children's problem behavior for the intervention group. A mediation model demonstrated that increases in effective behavior management practices were associated with decreases in problem behavior. A medium intervention effect was found for caregiver's monitoring and a small effect for use of positive attention. These effects declined 5 months following the intervention. Implications for future efficacy and effectiveness studies in family child care settings that involve strategies to facilitate maintenance are discussed.Children experience the greatest rate of development during the first 5 years of their lives, and besides the family environment, child care is the setting in which this growth predominately occurs (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000). Child care is typically the first experience young children will have with a group of other young children, and thus plausibly can facilitate positive interactions and the formation of positive relationships among children, as well as the development of socially skilled behavior in young children. Evidence supports positive influence of child care quality on social outcomes (Loeb, Fuller, Kagan, & Carrol, 2004; NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2001;Peisner-Feinberg & Burchinal, 1997;Phillips, McCartney, & Scarr, 1987). Yet the NICHD large-scale study of Early Child Care and Youth Development brings into question whether child care quality has a lasting positive influence on children's social development (Belsky et al., 2007; NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2003, 2004. Differential findings likely depend on the child's age when the care is provided, the way in which child care quality is defined, and what social outcomes are assessed.Much less is known about the extent to which the quality of care in family child care settings influences children's social development. In family child care settings, the care of children is Direct all correspondence and send offprints to: Julie C.

“…No control group was present. Aguirre and Marshall (1998) tested the effectiveness of a self-instructional training program for home-based caregivers ( n = 437) directed at health and safety, business management, child development, and nutrition, which combined written material and videotaped material. They found that the program was successful in increasing caregiver knowledge and in changing caregiver-reported behavior.…”

“…Do the four reported studies in home-based child care meet these criteria? Three of four reported intervention studies in child care homes had a very broad focus on health and safety, child development, and business management (Aguirre & Marshall, 1998; Espinosa et al, 1999; Kontos et al, 1996). All four programs consisted of fewer than 16 sessions, and two (Aguirre & Marshall, 1998; Rusby et al, 2008) of four programs used video, but this was based on a videotaped model, not on video feedback on the caregivers' behavior itself.…”

In the present randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of video-feedback intervention to promote positive parenting-child care (VIPP-CC) was tested in home-based child care. Forty-eight caregivers were randomly assigned either to the intervention group or to the control group. Global child care quality improved in the intervention group but not in the control group. The program did not change observed caregiver sensitivity. After the intervention however, caregivers in the intervention group reported a more positive attitude toward sensitive caregiving than caregivers in the control group. The study shows that the family-based intervention can be applied with some minor modifications in a professional group setting as well. The brief VIPP-CC program is an important tool for enhancing quality of home-based child care.

“…Ultimately, the goal of making these services more accessible is to increase the quality of child care available in the neighborhoods serviced by the Collaborative. Evaluations of training programs provide evidence that training is a mechanism by which change in quality can occur (Aguirre and Marshall 1988;Arnett 1989;Bloom and Sheerer 1992;Kontos, Howes, and Galinsky 1996;Kaplan and Conn 1984). Did such change come about as a result of using Collaborative resources?…”

The Philadelphia Early Childhood Collaborative (the Collaborative) was designed to improve the quality of child care by increasing coordination among organizations that locally deliver professional resources to child care providers. The evaluation examined the implementation of the Collaborative, utilization of its services, and the impact of service use on child care quality. Child care providers reported gains in their professional knowledge and behavior from using Collaborative resources and rated the resources highly. No long-term effects on provider behavior, knowledge, or attitudes were observed. Although the original organizations were able to function collaboratively and Collaborative services were widely used, more intensive interventions may be required to change the availability of quality child care.
