2007-2010
In 2007, the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation within the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services funded a research project, Supporting Quality in Home-Based Child Care, to: (1) systematically gather information from existing research on home-based child care and on initiatives that aim to support these caregivers, (2) synthesize the available evidence on home-based care, and (3) propose next steps for designing and evaluating initiatives that aim to improve the quality of care in these settings.
