Little research has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) in rural, applied settings. In this mixed‐methods study, we evaluated an approach to ECMHC used in rural Southwest Kansas with individualized services for childcare providers. Twenty‐nine home‐based and center‐based childcare providers completed measures on provider growth, perceptions of child outcomes, and satisfaction with sessions. In total, 162 data points were collected and analyzed using multilevel growth models. In addition, 16 providers participated in qualitative interviews. Both home‐based and center‐based providers reported very high satisfaction with consultation sessions which increased with time, although home‐based providers showed significantly higher satisfaction than did center‐based providers. Provider growth, encompassing personal well‐being, scheduling and transitions, connections with parents, and positive discipline strategies increased significantly over time. Child outcomes, encompassing prosocial behavior, resilience, and overall well‐being also improved significantly in providers’ perception. ECMHC as conducted in Southwest Kansas appears to have a positive effect on childcare providers and the children in their care
