Abstract

Access to high-quality childcare is essential to promote childrens' development; however, little is known about the quality of childcare they receive. The current study addresses this knowledge gap by evaluating a childcare training program, delivered by a non-government organization, OneSky, in Vietnam. OneSky trains providers who run Home Based Cares (HBCs), which are private, low-cost childcares.
