Recent research suggests that many preschoolers routinely
experience unstable child care, which refers to children's
consistency in experience with care providers or in care
arrangements. Other research shows these unstable care experiences
have negative effects on children's school readiness and adjustment
outcomes. The current study looks at this important area of
research in child care and specifically examines the effects of
several types of child care stability-including frequency of child
care arrangement and caregiver changes, use of multiple concurrent
child care arrangements over time, and staff turnover rates in
center-based child care-on children's school readiness and
adjustment outcomes, the rates and effects of child care stability
on children from families of varying income levels, and the
mediating influences of two potential processes-child-caregiver
attachment relationships and the child care quality-on children's
school readiness and adjustment outcomes. The implications of the
study findings and future directions of the research are discussed.
