Maternal Literacy Skills and Children's Kindergarten Outcomes in Rural Communities with Low Incomes: The Moderating Role of Hours in Child Care.
Based on theoretical premises of ecological systems theory and the compensatory hypothesis, a subset of data from the Family Life Project (N = 773), a population-based study of rural families with low incomes, were used to test for associations between maternal literacy in infancy and children's aca...

A second aim tested whether increased time in child care averaged from 6 to 36 months moderated such relations. Results indicated that maternal literacy was significantly positively related to academic outcomes (ES = 0.17–0.23) and significantly negatively related to children's problem behaviors (ES = −0.15) in kindergarten. Child care hours were not significantly related to any outcome. Significant interactions were found between maternal literacy and hours in child care on both children's academic skills and problem behaviors. Specifically, for mothers with lower literacy levels, significant dose-response relationships were detected between increased time in child care and children's higher academic scores and reduced problem behaviors (ES = 0.07–0.09). Implications for maternal literacy and child care access among rural families are discussed. Highlights: The findings from this study indicate that high maternal literacy is positively associated with children's kindergarten readiness in rural communities with low incomes. For mothers with lower literacy levels, time spent in child care may be an important promotive factor for children's development among children living in rural areas. Expanding child care access that would enable the delivery of two-generational early childhood services to children and their families may be helpful in rural communities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
