This study examined predictors of process quality among Hong Kong preschools. Findings indicated significant intercorrelations among structural, management-related, and process measures of quality. Process quality (teacher-child interaction, curriculum goals) was higher in preschools exceeding government requirements for staff qualifications, space and equipment, and staff-child ratios. Structural and management-related measures accounted for 27 percent of variance in process quality. (Author/KB)
