Examined the
efficacy of assessing proximal factors in day care, such as children's
experiences, and distal factors, such as caregiver characteristics,
in predicting children's development. Proximal and distal quality
were equally effective predictors. The validity of the National
Association for the Education of Young Children's guidelines on
developmentally appropriate practice as a measure of proximal quality
was tentatively supported. (MM)
