Caughy, Margaret O'Brien; And Others
Child Development, v65 n2 Apr p457-71 1994
Examined the impact of day-care participation during the first 3 years of life on the cognitive functioning of 867 school age children who participated in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Found that children from impoverished homes who started day care before age one had higher reading scores than children from similar homes who did not attend day care. (MDM)
