Evidence¶

Garon-Carrier 2022¶

Garon-Carrier, G., Ansari, A., Letarte, M.-J., & Fitzpatrick, C. (2022). Early childcare enrollment and the pursuit of higher education: A Canadian longitudinal study. Learning and Instruction, 80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2022.101615

q3 · i? · associational · r2

A posteriori analysis applying a 3-level treatment group (center-based, licensed home-based, informal) with propensity score matching. The null difference between licensed settings was not tested for equivalence; informal care still showed higher enrollment likelihood than either licensed setting.

"Results indicated no significant differences between the two licensed settings (center-based and home-based) on the probability of higher education enrollment (ATT= -1.20; = -0.077 [CI: -0.220; 0.065], p= .289)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Household income and maternal work status moderated the childcare–higher education association: formal childcare increased enrollment probability only for low-income and non-working families — related
• Children who attended informal childcare at 24–36 months were more likely to pursue higher education than children who attended formal childcare (Canadian 1994–95 cohort) — related
• Higher weekly childcare dosage was associated with lower probability of higher education enrollment — related
