Abstract
he purpose of this study was to take a qualitative approach to identify what quality changes did staff members of childcare centers experience after partnering with the Early Head Start Child Care Partnership Program. Six childcare programs that partnered with Drake University Early Head Start through the Early Head Start Child Care Partnership Program was selected as the program of focus. Staff members like teachers, teacher associates, and program leaders were sent electronic surveys with closed and open-ended questions in order to identify the quality changes they experienced. This information is used to help understand the impact of public policy like the EHS-CCP it has on those that carry out the services in behalf of the federal government and add to the literature on EHS-CCP.
