The OUNCE Research Project

I talked about this before, but this really is a great training opportunity and I wanted to share it once again with all of you, with a bit more information:

What is the OUNCE Research Project (ORP)?
The ORP is a study about how using The OUNCE Scale affects the professional development of child care providers and parents’ knowledge and understanding of their infants and toddlers.

What is the OUNCE Scale?
It is a resource for assessing infant and toddler development. It provides guidelines and standards for observing and understanding infant and toddler growth and behavior. It provides information for parents and caregivers to enhance everyday interactions with their infants and toddlers.

Who will participate in the OUNCE project?
About 120 licensed family and center-based childcare providers will participate in OUNCE. Additionally, about 250 parents and children will participate.

What will I be asked to do?

This is an exciting project….and we hope that you will consider being a part of this project.

If you are in the southwestern area of Minnesota and are interested…please contact: Jennifer Cleveland at
