Quality of Care at School-Aged Child-Care Programs: Regulatable Features, Observed Experiences, Child Perspectives, and Parent Perspectives.
Rosenthal, Robert; Vandell, Deborah Lowe
Child Development, v67 n5 p2434-45 Oct 1996
Examined the experiences of 180 children and 152 parents with 30 school-aged child care programs. Found that children had more positive program perceptions when programs offered a greater variety of activities, while parents had more positive perceptions when child-adult ratios were smaller and when their children reported more positive climates.
