Abstract

This project utilized text messaging to reduce infractions by childcare providers. Directors of centers, ministries, and home-based childcares received weekly videos, reminders, and interaction prompts via text message related to common violations. Directors who participated in the intervention committed fewer intervention-related infractions but did not commit fewer infractions overall.
