Low-income children, particularly those with special needs, may have limited access to high-quality early care experiences. Childcare subsidies are intended to increase families' access to quality care, but little is known about subsidy use by children with special needs. Using a nationally representative sample of 4,000 young children who participated in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Birth Cohort, we examined the types and quality of childcare received by children with and without special needs who came from subsidy eligible families. We also investigated the extent to which subsidy use and child and family sociodemographic characteristics predicted care type and quality among young children with special needs who used childcare subsidies at 9 months, 2 years, and 4 years. Findings indicated that subsidies increased the use of nonparental care, mainly center-based care, as well as home-based care to a lesser extent among children with special needs relative to peers without special needs and relative to peers with special needs who did not use subsidies. However, use of subsidy did not consistently result in families with children with special needs accessing higher quality care. Sociodemographic characteristics of children, families, and their context were differentially predictive of type and quality care. We discuss implications for practice and policy to foster quality early care and education of young children with special needs who are receiving subsidies.

有特殊需要和无特殊需要的受资助者的托儿类型和质量

低收入儿童,尤其是有特殊需要的儿童,获得高质量早期护理体验的机会可能有限。儿童保育补贴旨在增加家庭获得优质护理的机会,但对有特殊需要的儿童使用补贴的情况知之甚少。我们使用参与早期儿童纵向研究——出生队列的 4,000 名具有全国代表性的幼儿样本,研究了来自符合补贴条件的家庭的有特殊需求和无特殊需求的儿童所接受的托儿服务的类型和质量。我们还调查了补贴使用以及儿童和家庭社会人口学特征在多大程度上预测了在 9 个月、2 岁和 4 岁时使用儿童保育补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的保育类型和质量。调查结果表明,与没有特殊需要的同龄人相比,与没有特殊需要的同龄人相比,补贴增加了有特殊需要的儿童对非父母照料的使用,主要是以中心为基础的照料,并在较小程度上增加了以家庭为基础的照料。补贴。然而,补贴的使用并没有始终如一地使有特殊需要的儿童的家庭获得更高质量的护理。儿童、家庭及其背景的社会人口学特征对护理类型和质量有不同的预测作用。我们讨论了实践和政策的影响,以促进接受补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的优质早期护理和教育。与没有特殊需要的同龄人和没有使用补贴的有特殊需要的同龄人相比,有特殊需要的儿童在较小程度上接受家庭护理。然而,补贴的使用并没有始终如一地使有特殊需要的儿童的家庭获得更高质量的护理。儿童、家庭及其背景的社会人口学特征对护理类型和质量有不同的预测作用。我们讨论了实践和政策的影响,以促进接受补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的优质早期护理和教育。与没有特殊需要的同龄人和没有使用补贴的有特殊需要的同龄人相比,有特殊需要的儿童在较小程度上接受家庭护理。然而,补贴的使用并没有始终如一地使有特殊需要的儿童的家庭获得更高质量的护理。儿童、家庭及其背景的社会人口学特征对护理类型和质量有不同的预测作用。我们讨论了实践和政策的影响,以促进接受补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的优质早期护理和教育。并且他们的背景对类型和质量护理有不同的预测。我们讨论了实践和政策的影响,以促进接受补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的优质早期护理和教育。并且他们的背景对类型和质量护理有不同的预测。我们讨论了实践和政策的影响,以促进接受补贴的有特殊需要的幼儿的优质早期护理和教育。
