Beyond the null effect
Advanced modeling separates out true classroom interaction quality. • Measurement errors and center-level confounding can hide true classroom effects. • Cognitive/language supports linearly predict children's language outcomes. • Emotional/behavioral supports linearly predict social-emotional competence. • Process quality impacts may plateau at high levels in some domains. In Early Head Start (EHS), teacher–child interactions are widely believed …
Teachers’ social competencies, occupational health, and personal well-being are associated with their use of snark in the classroom
Social and emotional competencies predict pre-service teachers’ occupational health and personal well-being
Teachers struggle with notably poor occupational health and well-being. Although social and emotional competencies (SECs) are posited to promote teachers’ occupational health and well-being, a direct test of these associations is needed to identify targets for intervention. The present study tested the associations between SECs and occupational health and well-being in a sample of 158 pre-service teachers. Results indicated that when tested indiv…
Family child care educators’ experiences and decision-making related to serving children during Covid-19 and implications for supporting educators after the pandemic
Family child care educators based COVID operating decisions on needs of families. • Educators faced COVID-specific challenges but described these as manageable. • Financial incentives and systems flexibility supported continued operation. • Results can help inform ongoing work to mitigate family child care decline. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted early care and education, and many early education programs paused their operations or c…
Social support in a parenting Facebook group during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Area Deprivation Index as a predictor of economic risk and social and neighborhood perceptions among families enrolled in Early Head Start
Identifying a Typology of Unlisted Paid Home-Based Child Care Providers Using Latent Profile Analysis
Research Findings: This study provides a framework for categorizing one subset of the large and heterogeneous group of home-based child care providers, unlisted paid providers. We analyzed data on unlisted paid home-based child care providers (n = 448) from the 2012 National Survey of Early Care and Education conducted in the United States. We used latent profile analysis to explore how providers align into profiles based on key characteristics r…
An in-depth examination of family child care providers and their engagement with outside systems using a mixed methods case study approach
Prevalence and predictors of expulsion in home‐based child care settings
This study explored the prevalence of expulsion in home‐based child care (HBCC) settings using a nationally representative sample of HBCC providers from the National Survey of Early Care and Education. In addition to prevalence, enrollment and provider characteristics that predicted expulsion were examined. Although there is increasing awareness of the prevalence of early childhood suspension and expulsion in early care and education settings and…
