AB  - OBJECTIVE: Determine the predictors of child care providers' parent engagement 
      regarding child nutrition in child care centers (CCCs) and family child care 
      homes (FCCHs). DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Child care centers and FCCHs. 
      PARTICIPANTS: Child care center directors (n = 337) and FCCH providers 
      (n = 1,153) completed a self-administered survey. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fifteen 
      variables were examined as predictors for parent engagement: providers' perceived 
      barriers to communication, participation in Go Nutrition and Physical Self- 
      Assessment in Child Care, National Association for the Education of Young 
      Children accreditation, participation in Quality Ratings and Improvement Systems, 
      feeding practices, and professional development. ANALYSIS: Structural equation 
      modeling examined the relation between variables for CCCs and for FCCHs. RESULTS: 
      For CCCs, NAEYC accreditation, providers' perceived barriers regarding parents' 
      cultural beliefs about food, parents not liking the taste of healthy foods, and 
      parents prioritizing other food-related topics over healthy eating significantly 
      predicted parent engagement. For FCCHs, participation in Go Nutrition and 
      Physical Self- Assessment in Child Care, perceiving parents to be busy, not 
      wanting to offend parents, and practicing family-style dining were significantly 
      related to parent engagement. For both CCCs and FCCHs, professional development 
      regarding child nutrition was related to parent engagement. CONCLUSIONS AND 
      IMPLICATIONS: Focusing professional development on child care contexts and 
      addressing providers' perceived barriers may improve parent engagement.
