Life experiences and psychosocial development of the child: the role and quality of child care services
The main objective of the EMIGARDE study is to characterize the role of early life experiences in the success of children. More specifically, it sought to determine the associations between child care quality (when children are between 2 and 4 years) and children’s pre academic skills at 4 years. To do so, specific aims of the EMIGARDE study are:
- To examine the extent to which patterns of change in child care quality over time predicted the child cognitive performance;
- To examine whether or not distinct dimensions of quality were particularly relevant to cognitive performance.

Prior to the children’s second birthday, families were invited to participate in the EMIGARDE study. Participants were followed-up when children were 3, 4, 5-6, 7-8, 12-14 and 13-15 years old. Child care services regularly attended by the children also received a visit when the child was 2, 3, and 4 years old.
