Quality in Family Child Care: A Focus Group Study with Canadian Providers
Gillian Doherty - Personal Name
A substantial proportion of American, Canadian
and English preschoolers regularly participate in
family child care making its quality of vital importance for
the children concerned, their parents, the school system and
the society in which they live. This article discusses the
seven key caregiver behaviors and physical space characteristics
identified as essential for quality by 62 providers
who participated in 12 focus groups across Canada, their
views on what is required to support and enhance family
child care, and the published research on the effectiveness
of their suggested supports. In addition, the findings of a
survey of 581 providers in different parts of England that
also sought provider views about the physical space and
caregiver behaviours essential for quality programs are
identified (Fauth et al. 2011) and the significant concurrence
between the opinions of the two groups discussed.
The article ends with a discussion of the policy and practice
implications that arise from the study’s findings and some
ideas on how best to move forward in assisting family child
care providers to support children’s development.
