Description |
Employment has shown to be an important step in a refugee's successful integration into their host environment, providing both financial and social health benefits to the refugee. This pilot study evaluated the change in quality of child care provided by child care providers, all refugee women, after working with a trained coach. This project provided one-on-one coaching of child care skills and knowledge to five licensed child care providers in the Salt Lake City area. Areas of focus were the quality and content of the play area, nutrition, and selected Care About Childcare curriculum topics. Change in the quality of childcare was measured quantitatively through pre- and post-testing and a qualitative post-training interview with the provider. |
