The Quality of Caregiver-Child Interactions for Infants and Toddlers (Q-CCIIT) observation tool is now available to the Head Start community. It collects information about caregivers' interactions with children up to age 36 months. Like other adult-child observation tools, Q-CCIIT data can be used to support teachers and family child care providers in:

• Engaging in positive and nurturing interactions
• Building children's cognitive skills and problem-solving abilities
• Enhancing language and literacy development

The Q-CCIIT is a voluntary tool. The Q-CCIIT was developed through a project federally funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation and the Office of Head Start in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This webinar on the Q-CCIIT is sponsored by Mathematica and offered for your information only.
