Child Care Use in Mexican American Families An examination of factors that may influence child care practices of Mexican American families, including: community and employment factors; cultural beliefs and caregiving practices; extended family and non-kin networks; family characteristics; and child care characteristics. The study uses an integrative process-oriented model of minority children's development, and follows two cohorts of Mexican American families: a group with one-month old infants (N=80), and a group with 24-month old toddlers (N=80), for three years. This cross-sectional cohort design focuses on three issues: (1) factors associated with parental child care choices; (2) assessment of the features and quality of child care; and (3) factors associated with the effect of child care on family and child outcomes. |

Community Variations in Child Care for Working Poor Families: Contributions to Child Development and Parental Employment Opportunities A description and comparison of the "child care landscapes" in four communities with diverse subsidy policies, employing an integrated design and using existing data, qualitative data, and quantitative data to identify the community-level variables that are most strongly associated with quality of care and child and family outcomes, and to determine the linkages between child care characteristics and parental work outcomes. The first phase includes 500 parent surveys, 30 community informant interviews, 15 parent focus groups and an analysis of existing community data. The second phase includes assessments of 300 children (30 infants/toddlers and 30 preschoolers in each of 5 communities), their parents, and their child care providers, using measures of child care structural quality, process quality, child development, and parent employment. |

The Relationship Between Early Childhood Caregivers' Beliefs About Child-Rearing and Young Children's Development: A Secondary Analysis of Data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human development Study of Early Child Care An examination of the child-rearing beliefs and authoritarian/non-authoritarian values of caregivers (center-based, family child care providers, grandparents, other relatives, and babysitters/nannies) in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care (NICHD, 1994). The study furthers an understanding of non-parental caregivers' roles in young children's development. Findings may have social policy implications related to developing effective education and training programs for caregivers. |
