National Evaluation of Quality of Childcare in El Salvador

The "National Evaluation of Quality of Childcare in El Salvador" project works with both the El Salvador government and Whole Child International (WCI), a U.S.-based non-governmental organization focused on improving the caregiving environments for vulnerable children by effecting changes within child care centers and orphanages. The project examines whether the following changes make an impact on outcomes:

• Change in institutional structure and environments
• Change in caregiving knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes
• Change in caregiver health and emotional well-being
• Change in parental/guardian attitudes and child rearing practices
• Change in parental/guardian health and emotional well-being
