The implementation of early childhood inclusion has been challenged by the
lack of adequate staff development and high-quality community programs. Alt
hough consultation is a viable option for providing teachers with new knowl
edge, skills, and support to facilitate inclusion, few models use as their
foundation assessing and improving global program quality. This article pre
sents one model for preparing community-based consultants to work on-site a
longside the staff of early care and education programs to improve the qual
ity of their early childhood environments. We provide measures of global qu
ality in the participating community-based programs, including infant-toddl
er, early childhood, and family childcare home settings, to determine the q
uality of care that children were receiving before and after consultation.
