13 Indicators of Quality Child Care:  (Report)
Research Update

Author(s):  Richard Fiene

Organization(s):  Pennsylvania State University, National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care, University of Colorado

This research update synthesizes literature around the health and safety standards for out-of-home child care. The report uses 13 indicators of health and safety for quality child care, such as staff training, child:staff ratio, immunizations, emergency planning, etc, and examines existing evidence to support how these 13 indicators protect children from harm. The report, a collaboration with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, was prepared by the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care at the University of Colorado and written by Richard Fiene, Pennsylvania State University.
