The Relationship between Infant Day Care and Socio-Emotional Development with French Children Aged 3-4 Years.

Balleyguier, Genevieve; Melhuish, Edward C.

European Journal of Psychology of Education, v11 n2 p193-99 Jun 1996

Studies French children who had diverse day care experiences to determine whether day care is a risk factor in socio-emotional development. Finds that early day care is associated with increased social competence and not associated with behavioral problems; contradicts a similar U.S. study. Suggests difference may be due to poorer quality U.S. day care. (DSK)
