An Employer-Assisted Home Based Child Care Delivery System: Summary Report.
Bergman, Roberta L.
Child Care Dallas planned and implemented a project aiming to produce an employer-assisted family day care system which would meet the developmental needs of infants and toddlers, increase the community supply of infant/toddler care, be affordable for parents and employers, demonstrate effective methods for recruiting and training competent caregivers, and organize project experiences into a guide for others to use. Specific objectives of the project were to demonstrate how a home-based system could be developed to serve corporate employees, to test its cost effectiveness, to develop effective methods for recruiting and training competent caregivers, and to disseminate project experiences in a guide to program replication. This summary report provides a brief introduction; a statement of the project's underlying concept; a description of corporate participation; an overview of the system design; and brief descriptions of caregiver requirements, recruitment, selection, and training, of enrollment of participating families, and of the program for children. Outcomes and costs, and the dissemination of information are also described. Conclusions and recommendations are offered. Appendices provide related material, including a child care questionnaire, publicity materials and examples of press coverage, evaluation and assessment forms, a child development training course description, a list of caregiver competencies, and a parent interview form for developing a profile of child behavior.
