OMB No.: New Collection. Description: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing to develop a new observation measure to assess the quality of child care settings, specifically the quality of caregiver-child interaction for infants and toddlers in nonparental care.

Information will be collected through observations, focus groups, and questionnaires. In the pilot and field tests, the new Q– CCIIT observation measure will include observing a small group activity structured with a common task and asking follow-up observation questions.

OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation

of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing to develop a new
observation measure to assess the quality of child care settings,
specifically the quality of caregiver-child interaction for infants and
toddlers in nonparental care. The measure will be appropriate for use
across child care settings, center-based and family child care settings
as well as single- and mixed-age classrooms.
The two-year data collection activity will include two phases: (1)
A pilot test and (2) a psychometric field test. We will request
information about the child care setting, its classrooms and families
for recruitment into the study. Information will be collected through
observations, focus groups, and questionnaires.
In the pilot and field tests, the new Q-CCIIT observation measure
will include observing a small group activity structured with a common
task and asking follow-up observation questions. Caregivers observed
will also complete a background questionnaire. Focus groups to obtain
stakeholder input on caregiver-child interactions will be conducted
separately with parents, caregivers, and training and technical
assistance providers. Focus group participants will also complete a
demographic questionnaire. Parents of children served by caregivers
will complete a questionnaire on their child's competencies related to
cognitive, language/communication, and social-emotional development.
Parents will complete this questionnaire, which will also include
family and child characteristics, once in the pilot test and twice in
the field test, at the start of the field test and 6 months later to
