Examined relationships
between quality of center-based child care and infant cognitive
and language development. Subjects were 79 African American 1-year-olds.
Found that quality of infant care positively correlated with scores
on standardized assessment of cognitive development, language development,
and communication skills. Quality of care in centers and at home
was also related. (HTH)
