NICHD Early Child Care Research Network; , 2010

The overall purpose of this study was to examine the influence of variations in early childcare histories on the psychological development of infants and toddlers from a variety of family backgrounds. This general objective was addressed through a prospective, longitudinal study of the experiences of 1,364 children and their families, which took into account the complex interactions among child characteristics and those of the human and physical environments in which the children were reared.

The National Center for Early Development and Learning (NCEDL) Multi-State Study of Pre-Kindergarten examined the pre-kindergarten programs of six states: California, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, and Georgia. For this study, pre-kindergarten (pre-k) included center-based programs for four-year-olds that are fully or partially funded by state education agencies and that are operated in schools or under the direction of state and local education agencies. The study had two primary purposes: 1) To describe the variations of experiences for children in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs in school-related settings (public schools and state-funded pre-k classrooms in community-based settings). 2) To examine the relationships between variations in pre-kindergarten/kindergarten experiences and children's outcomes in early elementary school. The above information pertains to the Main Child Level Public-use version and the Main Child Level Restricted-use version. From these main datasets, subsets were created at the classroom level for Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K Classroom Level Public-use version and Pre-K Classroom Level Restricted-use version) and for Kindergarten (Kindergarten Classroom Level Public-use version and Kindergarten Classroom Level Restricted-use version).
