As part of an independent evaluation of Parent Aware, Minnesota’s quality rating and improvement system (QRIS), and with funding from the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, Child Trends subcontracted with Wilder Research to gather information from child care providers.
Wilder Research conducted listening sessions to learn about early educators’ experiences and perceptions of Parent Aware, including strengths and barriers within the quality rating process. This report details our methods and findings from those sessions, along with implications for future revisions and improvements to Parent Aware. See the Child Trends website for more information about the project.
