FIND in Center- and Home-Based Child Care

The FIND program has been implemented and evaluated in center- and home-based child care. This includes a state-wide implementation of FIND in collaboration with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families in Washington State. This project began in August 2014 and aims to utilize an adaptation of FIND to support center- and home-based childcare providers in every Infant Toddler Consultation region of Washington state. The project includes both English and Spanish speaking providers. The implementation is targeted toward providers with lower quality ratings, those about to be rated, and those serving high risk children. Editing and consultation is provided by the FIND Hub at Children’s Home Society of Washington. Gail Joseph and colleagues from Cultivate Learning at the University of Washington evaluated the impact of this project.
