Child Care Health Consultation Demonstration Program: Phase III Final Report (PDF)
By Erin Mueller
October
2006
Summary: This report describes a Child Care Health Consultation (CCHC) Demonstration Program that was initiated in March 2003, by the Oregon Department of Human Services Office of Family Health. The Child Care Health Consultant offers a variety of activities to promote healthy child development, including training, assessment, consultation, and referral. Phase I activities were completed in June of 2004. Phase II began in July 2004 and continued through June 2005. In Phase III, which began in July 2005, consultation regarding children’s social-emotional development and behavior in child care was strengthened with consultation methods learned through the Promoting First Relationships training. A mental health specialist and/or early childhood educator was included on the Core Team in each project. Over the three phases of the CCHC program, considerable development has occurred and services have expanded. Parents reported positive experiences with their child care providers across phases II and III. Across the three phases, high levels of community collaboration have occurred with child care providers, the Child Care Resource and Referral local offices, Public Health, and early childhood planning teams. The CCHC program continues to strive to optimize the physical, social, and emotional health and safety of children in Oregon’s child care settings.
