A study of reading achievement and social development associated with four patterns of child care : parental home, parental home plus nursery school, out of parental home, and day care center
The purpose of the study was to determine if differences exist in scores on reading achievement subtests and ratings on social development subscales for children exposed to four reported patterns of child care practice.The sample consisted of 143 children that experienced different patterns of child...
