The problem
Intervention: Publicly funded early care and education programs including child-care subsidies, Head Start, and public pre-kindergarten programs
Who it was tested with: Low-income children aged 0-4 and their families, stratified by maternal work schedules.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"we used data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation to estimate associations between public spending on ECE programs and children's participation in center-based ECE, focusing on heterogeneity by mothers' work schedules." The study uses a national longitudinal survey to examine how policy-level ECE spending relates to participation outcomes across different population subgroups.
Observational study design limits causal inference; does not measure actual child developmental outcomes or ECE quality; relies on cross-sectional associations in survey data
