Description
Abstract. The early childhood literature has acknowledged the need for culturally competent child care professionals. Based on Sue's (1981) tri-dimensional model, the Infant and Toddler Caregiver Cultural Rating Scale (ITCCRS) was created to assess 109 child care providers' cultural competence and the demographic correlates of that competence. Scores fell in mid-range, with an average score of 4.39 (SD = .57) on a 6-point scale. This average score indicates most caregivers have begun the process of developing cultural competence, but have room for growth. Qualitative responses specified areas of conflict between caregivers and families. The most predictive demographic correlate of cultural competence scores was the number of child development units. Years of formal education, hours of diversity training, and number of books/articles read about diversity were found to be significantly correlated with cultural competence. Ethnicity, ethnic match, having one's own children, and years of experience had no significant bearing on cultural competence scores. **********
