Child Care Session Summary From Annual Meeting 2002 the Tennessee law also lowered childto-staff ratios and incentives for providerswho completed more training and education. Supporting Quality Care - utah. http://www.ncsl.org/programs/cyf/ccsumAM02.htm
Extractions: Forgotten NCSLnet Password? At the 2002 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, NCSL child care project staff organized two sessions. This particular one focused on early childhood research, co-sponsored by NCSL's Assembly on State Issues (ASI) Committee on Children, Families and Health and Assembly on Federal Issues (AFI) Committee on Human Services. Measuring Quality Care Kathleen McCartney of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and Harvard Graduate School of Education talked about ways to determine what constitutes a quality child care program. She discussed structural characteristics (such as a program's child-to-staff ratios, group sizes, and training and education of staff) and process characteristics (teacher sensitivity, child stimulation) as key indicators of quality. She encouraged policymakers to examine specific studies that show the effects of caregiver training and child-to-staff ratios on a variety of outcomes, including a child's readiness for school, language comprehension, behavioral problems and positive social behavior. Effects on Child Outcomes University of Wisconsin researcher Arthur Reynolds, principal investigator of a 17-year longitudinal study of 1,000 children in the high-quality Chicago Parent-Child Centers, spoke about the wide range of long-term child outcomes resulting from early childhood programs. These include school advancement, grade retention, special education, literacy, delinquency and crime, child maltreatment, and receipt of social services. He noted that the study, which includes about 550 children in a control group, is finding that participants have 33 percent fewer juvenile arrests than those in the control group. He emphasized to legislators that these savings occur over 10 to 15 years and can be framed as prevention.
