Abstract

This study links county-level early care and education (ECE) program, economic, and demographic data to child-level data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort of 2010-2011 to examine geographic variation in ECE program participation and provision. We find that public ECE programs, particularly Head Start, occupy a larger role in nonmetropolitan communities than in metropolitan areas. By contrast, children in rural counties are less likely to attend private center-based ECE, and nonprofit childcare program expenditures in rural areas lag. We also find rural-metropolitan differences in school readiness diminish when geographic characteristics are controlled. Results suggest that county-level context and state-level policy features shape children's early experiences, and that public ECE investments are key in narrowing disparities in ECE attendance and in children's outcomes.

农村社区获得早期护理和教育的机会:对儿童入学准备的影响。
本研究将县级幼儿保育和教育(ECE)计划、经济和人口统计数据与2010-2011年幼儿纵向研究幼儿园队列中的儿童水平数据联系起来,以检验幼儿保育计划参与和提供的地理差异。我们发现,公共ECE项目,特别是Head Start,在非大都市社区中比在大都市地区发挥着更大的作用。相比之下,农村县的儿童不太可能参加以私人中心为基础的欧洲经委会,农村地区的非营利儿童保育项目支出滞后。我们还发现,当地理特征得到控制时,农村和大都市在入学准备方面的差异会减少。结果表明,县级背景和州级政策特征塑造了儿童的早期经历,欧洲经委会的公共投资是缩小欧洲经委会入学率和儿童成绩差距的关键。
