Abstract:
Family child care providers may be well-suited to provide health promotion to young children and their families. The investigators conducted a qualitative study using in-depth interviews with family child care providers serving low-income children. Child care providers perceive that they have an important role in health promotion, including (1) the child's physical health, (2) the child's development, and (3) supporting and educating parents, and are willing to assume this role in the context of collaborative relationships with parents. Providing education and ongoing support to child care providers in developing collaborative partnerships may enhance opportunities for health promotion in this setting.
