Introduction If you have benefited from free access to ECRP, please consider making a financial contribution to ECRP so that the journal can continue to be available free to everyone. Child care in center-based settings is a common experience for many American children in working-class families. As a result of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, more low-income mothers are entering the workforce; the need for high-quality, affordable, child care has become critical (Growing Up in Poverty Project, 2000). High-quality child care can play an important role in the positive growth and development of children. Research shows that outcomes related to quality include cooperative play, creativity, self-control, and language and cognitive development (Vandivere, Pitzer, Halle, & Hair, 2004; WestEd, 2002).
