Early childcare boosts future school success
Researchers from Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus MC have found that early childcare positively impacts children's future school skills and academic performance in grade 8. The study, led by Clair Enthoven and her colleagues, highlights the importance of ensuring equal access to early childcare for all families in the Netherlands. However, the research also reveals that childcare has a limited impact on reducing socioeconomic inequalities in this area for all children.
