Measuring the Quality of Caregiver-Child Interactions for Infants and Toddlers (Q-CCIIT)

The Quality of Caregiver-Child Interactions for Infants and Toddlers (Q-CCIIT) observation tool was developed to measure the quality of child care settings serving infants and toddlers, including center-based care and family child care homes, single-age classrooms, and mixed-age settings. Funded by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the project report provides psychometric evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the Q-CCIIT as a measure of caregiving quality.
