| Summary: | This report presents findings of the Pennsylvania Child Care Training Needs Survey. The purpose of the survey was to determine statewide needs for child care training. A random sample of 500 day care centers was selected from the 2,127 day care centers in Pennsylvania. The sample was stratified in terms of the state's four regions--northeast, southeast, western, and central--and by the major urban centers of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg. A total of 214 questionnaires were returned. The majority of the respondents were either head teachers, directors, or administrators who were at the top of the career ladder in the early child care field. Participants indicated a need for and interest in additional training. Participants felt that working with a master caregiver or other caregivers, and visiting other centers and homes would be the most effective modes of training. Additional findings concerning demographic characteristics, training needs, and selected cross-tabulations are discussed. Appendix A provides the survey instrument, and Appendix B lists respondent sites. All of the raw data, frequency, and cross-tabulation tables are provided in Appendix C. (RH) |
