Explored the
environment for literacy in day-care centers, its relationship with
traditional measures of day-care quality, and its influence on children's
cognitive and language development. Observations in 30 community-based
day-care classrooms revealed relatively impoverished literacy environments.
Found that both day-care quality and environment can significantly
affect children's language development. (AA)
