Abstract

A random sample of regulated family day care homes in Texas was examined for compliance with minimum standards. Each was rated on 27 quality aspects that were factor analyzed. Four major factors were identified: environment, caregiver comportment, childcare, and outside relations. Overall, quality and noncompliance were significantly and consistently related. The impact of several specific relationships between quality and noncompliance are discussed from a regulatory point of view, especially with regard to training.
