Child care and child development: Results from the NICHD study of early child care and youth development

"To understand the potential benefits and problems associated with early child care, the NICHD study followed a diverse group of more than a thousand children from infancy through the transition to school, assessing them in multiple domains over time. Taken together, the findings presented here yield major insights into how the type, amount, and quality of child care interact with family experiences, socioeconomic variables, and other child and family factors to influence individual trajectories." "This edited volume will spark discussion, debate, and further investigation among researchers and students in developmental and clinical psychology, human development and family studies, early childhood education, public policy, and related fields. It will serve as a uniquely informative text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses."--Jacket
