This file contains information from a study that evaluated the impact of an on-site caregiver training intervention, the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC), on child development and childcare program quality.

The PITC intervention approach combines direct caregiver training and on-site coaching or other tailored assistance. This study tested a specific implementation model of PITC, with delivery of 64 hours of training and 40 hours of on-site coaching and support, requiring an average of 14 months for full implementation. The study was implemented over 2007-2010 in six Southern California counties and four Arizona counties. The study sample of 251 childcare programs included 92 childcare centers and 159 licensed family child care homes.
