Brief Summary

This study uses a mixed-methods, single-group pretest-posttest design to evaluate (1) implementation outcomes (acceptability, adoption, fidelity) and (2) preliminary changes associated with delivery of the adapted PlayReadVIP intervention in Family Care Center (FCC) settings.

Conditions

Caregiver-Child Interaction; Child Learning

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Provider Self-Efficacy

  Provider self-efficacy is measured using the Beliefs About Parent Support for Early Literacy Scale (BPSES). The BPSES consists of items assessing providers' confidence in managing children's behavior and supporting children's development. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. The total score is calculated by summing all five items, and ranges from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating greater provider self-efficacy.

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Provider Perceptions of Children's Literacy Practices

  The Provider Perception survey was developed by the NYULH PlayReadVIP research team and includes frequency-based items assessing how often children in the provider's care engage in literacy-related behaviors, social interaction, communication, sustained attention during reading, and challenging behaviors. Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert scale from 0-9. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-72, with higher scores indicating greater frequency of the specified behaviors.

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Cognitive Stimulation in the Caregiving Environment

  The StimQ-2 is a standardized, validated caregiver-report measure designed to assess the quality and frequency of cognitive stimulation activities provided to children in early childcare settings. The instrument includes 5-point Likert scale from 0-5 across multiple domains, including shared reading practices, caregiver teaching activities, verbal responsiveness, and availability of developmentally appropriate learning materials. The highest total StimQ Score is 39 and the lowest is 0. Higher scores indicate greater provision of cognitive stimulation within the caregiving environment.

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Provider Job Stress

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Caregiver-Child Interaction Quality: Adult Behavior

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Caregiver-Child Interaction Quality: Child Behavior

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Classroom Quality

  Pre-Intervention (Baseline), Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)

• Provider-Rated Acceptability, Appropriateness, and Feasibility of Intervention

  Post-Intervention Session (Day 1 up to Day 30, approximately)
