ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE) is proposing a new primary data
collection to examine the experiences,
strengths, resources, and strategies used
by home-based child care providers to
serve and support equitable outcomes
for children and families. The HomeBased Child Care Practices and
Experiences study will explore the
experiences of a particular group of
home-based child care providers who
are legally exempt from state licensing
or other state regulations that apply to
non-custodial care of children in the
provider’s own home; these providers
are commonly referred to as family,
friend, and neighbor providers.
