The Relation of Child Care to Cognitive and Language Development.

Child Development, v71 n4 p960-80 Jul-Aug 2000

Examined how child care experiences related to cognitive and language development from birth through age 3. Found that care quality was modestly related to cognitive and language outcomes, after adjusting for several factors. Cumulative experience in center-based care related to better outcomes than did experience in other care. Children in exclusive maternal care did not differ from other children. (Author/KB)
