Abstract: The major goal of this project is to develop a measure of the quality of family-provider relationships that will be (1) applicable across multiple types of early care and education settings and diverse program structures (including Early Head Start and Head Start); (2) sensitive across cultures associated with racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic characteristics; (3) reliable in both English and Spanish; and (4) appropriate for program evaluation. As a step in developing this measure, OPRE and OHS request permission to conduct a pilot test and a field test with parents of children aged birth through five years and with early care and education center and home-based providers, teachers, Family Service Workers, and directors.
