Adding Two School Age Children: Does It Change Quality in Family Child Care?

Norris, Deborah J.; Howes, Carollee

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v12 n3 p327-42 1997

Randomly selected family child care homes providing minimal quality care were observed prior to, and after, enrolling two additional school age children. Results suggest that modest change in number and age range of children in family child care home providing minimally acceptable care may potentially decrease provider sensitivity and may be less than optimal for children.
