Patchworks and Developmental Sequences: Impacts of Multiple Child Care Arrangements on Child Development
Morrissey, Taryn, 2006
Cornell University

This study examines the impacts of multiple child care arrangements, including formal child care centers and family child care homes, and informal arrangements with relatives, neighbors, and babysitters, on young children’s development. The project uses data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development to investigate the number and type of child care arrangements children experience, both at one point in time and over their first five years, on social-emotional and behavioral outcomes during early childhood and the early elementary school years. Within-child fixed effects and multilevel models for change are used to examine the relationships between changes in number of child care arrangements and sequence of child care type in relation to changes in children’s behavioral and cognitive outcomes. Results indicate that increases in the number of concurrent child care arrangements are associated with small increases in children’s behavioral problems. Consistent with previous research, greater exposure to center care, regardless of its developmental timing, was associated with small gains in cognitive scores but also more behavioral problems. Policy implications are discussed.
