Resumo(s)
The purpose of this study was to describe the quality of toddler child care classrooms in the
district of Porto, in the north of Portugal. One hundred and sixty classrooms for children
between 1 and 3 years of age participated in this study. Results suggested the existence
of poor average quality and absence of good-quality classrooms. Child–adult ratio was a
statistically significant predictor of overall child care quality (with lower ratios associated
with higher quality). The results of this study provide information on the applicability of
ITERS-R to a new cultural and linguistic context, suggesting the need to enhance the quality
of Portuguese programs serving toddlers.
