State policy predictors of child care centers’ utilization of subsidies for children from underserved groups
Populations Served by Child Care Centers Accepting Subsidies and Linkages with State Subsidy Policies
Research Findings: We conducted a latent profile analysis using data from centers (n = 3,474) employing Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies in the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education. We identified subgroups of centers based on enrollment of children from CCDF priority populations and other diverse backgrounds. There were three subgroups: centers offering a wider breadth of services for priority populations, centers resp…
Testing the structure–process–outcome model across different early care and education policy contexts
Regulations and policy in early care and education (ECE) is based largely on the idea that structural elements of ECE, such as child-adult ratio, predict teacher-child interactions that then predict child developmental outcomes. This structure-process-outcome model was initially proposed when many states had minimal ECE quality standards. Our study tested the structure-process-outcome model using four large early childhood data sets that were col…
