大量文献记录了儿童护理对幼儿发展的影响，但很少有研究调查社区护理安排中的低收入儿童。本研究利用福利、儿童和家庭：一项三城市研究（N = 204）的数据，考察了儿童保育质量和护理程度对低收入儿童（2-4岁）认知和社会情感发展的影响。较高水平的儿童保育质量与儿童社会情感发展的改善有一定的联系，而大量的儿童保育时间与儿童定量技能的提高和行为问题的减少有关。分析表明，对于低收入家庭的儿童亚群来说，儿童保育质量可能尤为突出。
A large literature has documented the influence of child care on young children's development, but few studies have examined low-income children in community care arrangements. Using data from Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study (N = 204), this study examined the influence of child care quality and the extent of care on low-income children's (ages 2-4 years) cognitive and socioemotional development over time. Higher levels of child care quality were modestly associated with improvements in children's socioemotional development, and extensive hours in child care were linked to increases in children's quantitative skills and decreases in behavior problems. Analyses suggest that child care quality may be particularly salient for subgroups of children from low-income families.
