This report is the third to be produced from the Evaluation of Parent Aware being conducted by Child Trends and funded by the Minnesota Early Learning Foundation (MELF). It covers the third year of the pilot from July, 2009 through August, 2010 and provides an in-depth analysis of the measurement tools and rating process used in Parent Aware, changes in quality among Parent Aware-rated programs, parents’ perceptions of quality and knowledge of Parent Aware, and the school readiness of children participating in Parent Aware-rated programs. A fourth report will be produced in November, 2011 to provide final data and information about the pilot.
