Resumo(s)
Whereas child care quality has been extensively studied in the U.S., there is much less information about the quality of child care in
other countries.With one of the highest maternal employment rates in Europe, it is important to examine child care in Portugal. Thirty
toddler classrooms in child care centers were observed. The purpose of this studywas to determine whether structural features account
for overall toddler child care quality. Results showed younger and better-paid teachers provided better toddler child care quality. Space
available per childwas not a statistically significant predictor of toddler child care quality.Overall quality results suggest some issues
to be addressed by early education policy makers and indicate the need to promote quality in Portuguese toddler child care programs.
