迄今为止，关于联邦儿童保育补贴计划对学龄前儿童保育质量影响的证据好坏参半。然而，一个尚未经过检验的补贴结果是随后的儿童保育选择。具体来说，在幼儿期获得补贴可能会增加参加其他公共资助的学前教育计划的可能性-使用来自早期儿童纵向研究出生队列（n = 2，100;约2岁）的数据，这项研究发现，在幼儿期获得补贴预示着在学前一年更多地使用其他形式的公共资助护理，尽管只有在中心使用早期补贴的情况下。这些结果突出了补贴计划以前未被考虑的潜在好处。
The evidence to date on the federal child‐care subsidy program's effect on preschool child‐care quality is mixed. However, an as‐yet untested outcome of subsidy receipt is subsequent child‐care choice. Specifically, it is possible that subsidy receipt in toddlerhood increases the likelihood of attending other publicly funded preschool programs—Head Start and public pre‐k—that provide the highest quality care available to low‐income families. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Birth Cohort (n≈2,100; approximately 2 years old), this study finds that subsidy receipt during toddlerhood predicts greater use of the other forms of publicly funded care in the preschool year, although only if the earlier subsidy is used in a center. These results highlight a previously unconsidered potential benefit of the subsidy program.
