This study is one of the rigorous research studies of REL West (the Regional Educational Laboratory - West) and will measure the impact of the PITC on child care quality and children’s development. The evaluation will be conducted by Berkeley Policy Associates in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin and SRM Boulder.
