ABSTRACT
In meeting the child care needs of low-income working parents, child care advocates have recently discussed the urgent need to increase the capacity and training of infant and toddler child care providers (Carnegie Corporation of New York, 1998; Annie E. Casey Foundation, 1998; Kahn and Kamerman, 1998; Modigliani, 1994). One way to increase the capacity and quality of these providers is to recruit, train, and support exempt providers in the community.
