The idea

High-quality childcare offers small ratios, about one worker to three infants under eighteen months, low staff turnover, knowledgeable caregivers, books, toys and outdoor play.

In practice

A caregiver with three infants on the floor, reading, talking and responding to each.

Where people slip

Quality, measured by ratios, group size and caregiver training, predicts children's cognitive and language outcomes.
