The Child Care HOME Inventories: Assessing the Quality of Family Child Care Homes.

Bradley, Robert H.; Caldwell, Bettye M.; Corwyn, Robert F.

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v18 n3 p294-309 2003

Evaluated versions of the HOME Inventory for use in assessing family child care homes. Found that psychometric properties of child care versions of HOME were similar to those of the original HOME for the family environment. Child care HOME scores were strongly related to observational measures of caregiver behavior and to measures of physical and organizational aspects of the environment. (Author/KB)
