Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of an attachment research-informed intervention adapted to the Danish childcare context in terms of improving process quality in center-based childcare for 0-2 years old children. Specifically, the aim is to improve caregiver interactive skills and mind-mindedness. The intervention is delivered in groups during eight weekly sessions and is based on the manualized Circle of Security Parenting model, but adapted to the childcare context: The Circle of Security Classroom model. Intake is planned to be completed in January 2023 and 110 childcare providers are estimated to be enrolled in the trial.

COSC

COSC is professional development program for early childcare providers adapted from the Circle of Security-Parenting (COSP) model. It is a manualized intervention that leverages research on attachment relationships combining psycho-education with a mentalization-based approach. The model uses pre-produced video vignettes of secure and problematic caregiver-child interactions to illustrate how caregivers' may struggle in meeting children's' attachment needs. Participants are invited to reflect on how they meet and perhaps still not meet the needs of the children in their care with a particular focus on the challenging or 'difficult' children. The COSP manual has been translated into Danish (Cooper, Hoffman and Powel, 2020, translated by Pedersen, Kronendorf von Wowern, Lier, \& Smith-Nielsen), and the additional COSC material has been translated into Danish for the purpose of this study.
