Dr. Catherine Scott-Little (Human Development and Family Studies) received a continuation of funding from the DHHS Administration for Children and Family for the project “Exploring teacher-family relationships: Avenues for increasing the quality of care in infant-toddler classrooms.”
The project will investigate current family engagement practices in licensed infant and toddler classrooms across the state to inform future policy and practice. Surveys of infant and toddler teachers, program administrators, and families will be conducted, with follow-up qualitative interviews of teachers and administrators. Survey scores will be compared to secondary observed quality data.
