Can Early Childhood Education Be Compensatory? Examining the Benefits of Child Care among Children Who Experience Neglect
Sattler, Kierra M. P.
Early Education and Development, v34 n6 p1398-1413 2023
Research Findings: Children that experience neglect are at risk for maladaptive outcomes. One potential resource for these children is early childhood education (ECE), but there is currently limited evidence which is compounded by data limitations. This study used data from the National Study of Child and Adolescent Well-being II (N = 1,385) to compare children's cognitive and social-emotional outcomes among children involved in child protective services that experienced either no care, informal care, or formal care, as well as moderation by type of neglect. Results suggest that ECE was related to increased cognitive and social skills and decreased behavior problems, depending on whether the child attended informal or formal care, with some associations being stronger for children that experienced neglect. Practice or Policy: These findings documenting the benefits of ECE have important implications for practitioners and policymakers in the intersection of ECE and child protective services.
