Provider Voice in Home-Based Child Care Networks Scale

Colorful toy train set with tracks, trees, a signal light, and a station with a police figure.

The Home-Based Child Care Research Initiative at Erikson Institute, with support from Home Grown, developed the Provider Voice in Home-Based Child Care Networks Scale (PV-HBCCN). This scale measures providers’ perceptions of how well they are included as equal decision-makers in services and operations of home-based child care networks.  The PV-HBCCN is an easy-to-use survey measure that HBCCNs can use to capture provider views about their experience participating in an HBCCN. The PV-HBCCN scale and briefs are available below in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
