| Abstract: | Assessed child care quality based on reports of 170 center directors in three California counties. Responses indicated that most centers in lower-income and working-class communities displayed at least moderate quality levels along structural measures. About 1 in 6 failed to meet recommended quality standards. Center quality was not consistently influenced by community conditions such as poverty. Quality was higher among centers receiving stronger flows of public subsidies. (KB) |
