Child Caregiver Interaction Scale (CCIS) (Carl, 2010) compared to Arnett CIS (Arnett, 1989): An updated measure to assess quality child caregiving

While multiple assessment measures of process indicators exist, the need for a valid, reliable,research and theoretically based global measure for assessing the quality of child caregiverinteractions remains. One of the most widely used caregiver interaction measures, the ArnettCaregiver Interaction Scale (CIS) (1989), provides a basic measure of child caregiverinteraction, yet also has serious limitations (i.e., lack of operational definitions, minimal attentionto recent brain development research, weak reliability and validity, and extensive adaptations inthe field). The Child Caregiver Interaction Scale (CCIS) (Carl, 2007, 2010), largely based uponthe National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) DevelopmentallyAppropriate Practice (DAP) position statements (NAEYC, 2009; Bredekamp and Copple, 1997),is a valid and reliable measure for assessing the interactions of child caregivers and the childrenin their care. The CCIS measure demonstrates high internal consistency and strong utility acrosssettings and child care giving age groups, including infant, toddler, preschool and home base child care.
