How Many is Enough? Estimating the Size of the U.S. Child Care Workforce A project to develop a methodology for accurately quantifying the child care workforce and projecting the numbers and types of child care workers needed in the future, with an assessment of the current workforce by education and function, hours of work, and market sector. Projections take into account the needs of special populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, those with limited English proficiency, and those with disabilities. |

Partnering for Quality: The Impact of Partnerships on Child Care Quality and Accessibility An examination of the approaches to child care partnerships in existence across the country, and the impact of child care/Head Start partnerships on quality and access. Phase 1 analyzes an existing database of quantitative and qualitative data to describe current approaches. Phase 2 involves a correlational study of data from a random sample of child care centers and a comparison group not engaged in partnerships, using surveys of parents, teachers, and directors of child care and Head Start programs over three points in time. |

Role of Tribal Child Care Programs in Serving Children Birth to Five An investigation of American Indian child care directors' perceptions in two areas: (1) the reservation community's efforts to promote and preserve cultural integrity in the local transmission of cultural values to children, aged birth to five, who are enrolled in tribal child care programs on American Indian reservations; and (2) how statewide quality improvement systems are (or are not) assisting them in their efforts to promote continuity of cultural education and quality child care. The project uses a multiple case study design wherein sixteen American Indian program directors from child care centers in tribal communities are divided into four equal groups defined by leadership experience and tribal affiliation/enrollment. The participants are all members of different tribes, representing sites located in diverse geographic regions, and selected to provide variation among different stages in their professional careers and different kinds and levels of challenge encountered in their work. |

Wisconsin Child Care Data Sharing Project A project to develop a statewide research infrastructure to improve Wisconsin's ability to address child care policy questions at the state and local level. The infrastructure is designed to be housed within the Department of Workforce Development Data Warehouse, to draw upon multiple data sources, and to coordinate data across several programs and agencies, including resource and referral, the State's professional development system, and child care licensing. An initial product of this project is the Statewide Child Care Provider File--a resource for use by parents, the State's professional development system, and the Bureau of Regulation and Licensing. |
