Do Regulable Features of Child-Care Homes Affect Children's Development?

Clarke-Stewart, K. Alison; Vandell, Deborah Lowe; Burchinal, Margaret; O'Brien, Marion; McCartney, Kathleen

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v17 n1 p52-86 2002

Used data from NICHD Study of Early Child Care to assess whether regulable features of child care homes affected children's development. Found caregivers' education and recency of training related to learning environment and caregiving sensitivity. More positive caregiving related to compliance with age-weighted group-size cut-offs. Caregiver education/training level related to child performance on tests of cognitive and language development. (Author/KB)
