Home Grown partnered with the Home-Based Child Care Research Initiative at Erikson Institute to create Getting to Impact in Home-Based Child Care: Evaluating Implementation, Outcomes, and Long-Term Effects. This paper presents a broad overview of evaluation and its application to Home-Based Child Care Networks. It is intended to help networks consider the types of evaluations they may want to conduct and the ways in which these evaluations can be used to strengthen network operations, identify and measure short-term and intermediate network outcomes, and assess long-term impacts.
