Zaslow, Martha J.; Oldham, Erin; Moore, Kristin A.; Magenheim, Ellen

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v13 n4 p535-63 1998

Examined predictors of welfare families' participation in early-childhood programs, and development of welfare-family children who were enrolled in early-childhood programs. Found that maternal employment, maternal education, and number of children in the family were predictors of program participation, and that participation was associated with school readiness. (JS)
