Structural and Process Quality of Danish Preschools: Direct and Indirect Associations With Children’s Growth in Language and Preliteracy Skills

“…A study by Bauchmüller, Gørtz, and Rasmussen (2014) showed that a favorable child-to-teacher ratio and a higher share of teachers with formal teacher training in preschool positively predicted children's language outcomes in the ninth grade. Gupta and Simonsen (2016) demonstrated that children who attended center-based day care at age 2 scored higher on language skills in ninth grade compared to children who were enrolled in family day care, which the authors explained by the difference in teachers' formal educational qualifications. The vast majority of family day care caregivers completed either vocational training or high school only, whereas teachers in center-based day care (who account for about 60% of the workforce) held a pedagogical degree (Gupta & Simonsen, 2010).…”

What is the Added Value of Preschool for Poor Children? Long-Term and Intergenerational Impacts and Interactions with an Infant Health Intervention

“…For research on U.S.-based preschool programs for poor children, including Head Start, Perry Preschool, and the Carolina Abecedarian Project, see:Currie and Thomas (1995);Garces et al (2002);Masse and Barnett (2002);Schweinhart et al (2005);Belfield et al (2006);Ludwig and Miller (2007);Anderson (2008); Deming (2009); Heckman et al (2010a,b); Carneiro and Ginja (2014); Campbell et al (2014); García et al (2016); De Haan and Leuven (forthcoming); Garcia et al (2018); Thompson (2017); Bailey et al (2018);Heckman and Karapakula (2019b). Outside the United States, there is some evidence on the mediumterm effects of access to more recently expanded universal preschools in Norway and Denmark, which enroll children from all socio-economic backgrounds(Havnes andMogstad, 2011, 2015;Datta Gupta and Simonsen, 2016). The fact that the benefits of universal programs are often largest for disadvantaged children(Cascio, 2015) raises the question of whether programs explicitly targeting poor children could have even larger returns in these settings.…”

Entrepreneurship Skills Among Young Learner Through Play Strategy: A Qualitative Study

“…Both developmental efforts are also targeted at educating human capital (Hirschi & Fischer, 2013). According to Gupta and Simonsen (2016), entrepreneurship is a discipline that explores innovation creation and design and takes risks for constructing work to produce the outcomes. Yetti and Azizah (2016) said that the entrepreneur is an agent of transformation who is deliberately preparing and taking into account the market process.…”

“…(Government of Pakistan, 2008; Ishaque & Abbasi, 2020). ECE has become the focus of quality, reflecting a growing awareness that education starts earlier than primary school in a lifelong perspective that influences children's learning and development (Gupta & Simonsen 2016;Jensen et al, 2013).…”
