Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the Caregiver Interaction Profile (CIP) training program (Helmerhorst et al., 2017) promoting the relational quality between professional caregivers and children in daycare. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the CIP training program, compared to no training, improve the relational quality between daycare providers and children in daycare?
* Does the CIP training program, compared to no training, foster children's social, emotional, and language development? Daycare providers assigned to the "training group" will participate in the CIP training program, which uses video-recorded interactions between the daycare providers and children in daycare to give feedback on the relational quality as observed in the videos. Daycare providers assigned to the "waiting list control group" will initially not take part in the training program but will receive the training after the study is finished. All daycare providers' daily interactions with the children in daycare will be filmed before and after the training in order to see if there has been a change in relational quality for the daycare providers in the training group (compared to the control group). Daycare providers in the training and control groups will also fill out questionnaires about the social, emotional, and language development of the children in their care.

Researchers will compare daycare providers (and the children in their care) in the "training group" to daycare providers (and the children in their care) in the "control group" to see if the relational quality in the training group improves more than that in the control group as a result of the CIP training, and how that impacts the social, emotional, and language development of children.

Outcome Assessors
Trained coders who code the outcome variables of the study (from video-recorded material) will be blind to the intervention vs control condition, and to the baseline vs follow-up condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CIP training group

Participants assigned to the CIP training group will receive either an individual 5-week CIP training or a pairwise 6-week CIP training, both with weekly sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Caregiver Interaction Profile (CIP) training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The CIP training aims to boost six interactive skills in daycare providers: sensitive responsiveness, respect for children's autonomy, structuring and limit setting, verbal communication, developmental stimulation, and fostering positive peer interactions. The training takes place with 1 or 2 daycare providers at a time, and consists of 5 or 6 weekly sessions, respectively. In individual trainings, sessions 1-3 focus on two skills each, session 4 is a recap of two skills the daycare provider chooses, and the final session is shared with a colleague. In pairwise sessions, session 1 focuses on the first two skills, sessions 2-5 each focus on one skill, and the last session serves as a recap of two skills the daycare providers choose. The training uses a video-feedback method: daycare providers are filmed in interactions with children in daycare, the CIP trainer preselects relevant fragments of video recordings to discuss with the daycare provider(s) during the training sessions.

Waiting-list control group

Participants assigned to the waiting-list control group will receive no intervention while data collection is ongoing; after data collection is finished they will also receive the CIP training.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
