| Aim |
To track, over a four-year period, how local early education organizations, families, and children’s early learning are influenced as selected states implement this substantial realignment of family-support programs resulting from welfare reform.
To study how low income families differ in their supply of center-based child care programs or preschools and licensed family child care homes and how they will change longitudinally.
To determine if cross-community disparities in supply correspond to differences in the baseline quality of these formal child care and preschool organizations.
To measure cross-sectionally how family level processes (including maternal demographics, income, family social structure, and participation in subsidized programs) influence the types of child care and preschool settings selected by single mothers.
To study whether mean levels of child development, early learning, and health status differ between communities with high versus low supplies of early childhood programs.
