A qualitative study that addresses the question of whether technology is an effective means of connecting providers with resources, and describes the characteristics of Illinois license-exempt child care providers, their use of information resources, and the means by which they seek information to enhance their practices. The study uses data from the Illinois Study of License-Exempt Child Care, which found that license-exempt providers had little or no child care training, but that many were interested in receiving such training. Phase 1 involves the administration of an open-ended questionnaire to 30 license-exempt providers. Phase 2 involves the administration of a semi-structured interview to 60 providers about their use of, and access to, technology. This research informs policy and program choices about the use of technology for promoting Illinois' Early Learning Guidelines.
