Abstract: 
The quality of the caregiving environment for young infants in day care centres in Athens was evaluated with 3 global measures; ITERS (Harms, Cryer, & Clifford, 1989), PROFILE (Abbott-Shim & Sibley, 1987a), CCFS (Dragonas, Tsiantis & Lambidi, 1995): and I measure of adult-child interaction (Arnett, 1989). Comparisons between the measures revealed great similarity of between the three global measures, but that the specific adult-child interaction measure appeared to be measuring a different aspect of quality of care. The general quality of care was low, lower than for other countries with similar research, and suggests the need for substantial improvement.
