Assessed quality
of care in 120 child care centers using several major process measures,
including the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, to evaluate
how well the quality of child care is measured by process and regulatable
variables. The process measures proved to be highly redundant, and
regulatable measures did not prove to be acceptable measures of
quality of care. (WP)
