Examined the
impact of day-care participation during the first 3 years of life
on the cognitive functioning of 867 school age children who participated
in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Found that children
from impoverished homes who started day care before age one had
higher reading scores than children from similar homes who did not
attend day care. (MDM)
