Abstract: This mixed methods study was conducted in the context of an applied research study to understand the effectiveness of a program to teach caregiving and child development to high school students. Implemented in two high schools in Utah, this study found that students in the program increased their knowledge of caregiving and child development over the course of the study, and at the conclusion of the program students held attitudes associated with positive outcomes for young children. The findings are intended to contribute to what is known about the efficacy of high school as a site for teaching caregiving and child development, with the ultimate goal of improving caregiver/child relationships, reducing rates of child abuse and neglect, and diminishing early childhood educational disparities.
