Abstract	Examined the role of childcare process quality regarding the relation between family risks and preschoolers' social-emotional problems. To this end, 24 childcare centers with 42 groups in the German-speaking part of Switzerland were included. The 162 children in the sample were aged three to five years. Parents and teachers completed the "Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire" (SDQ-Deu). Eight family risk factors were subsumed into a cumulative risk index. Childcare process quality was assessed by various observation instruments, for example, the "Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale-Revised" (ITERS-R) and the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised" (ECERS-R). The calculated structural equation models show that high-quality teaching and interaction, and provisions for learning, can mitigate the negative effects of family risks on children's internalizing problems. It is concluded that high process quality can provide the chance of considerable attention, encouragement, and new learning opportunities for children at risk; these high-quality centers thereby contribute to protective processes.
