DataDrive2030 recently contributed to a meta-analysis that synthesizes the global literature on structural characteristics and indicators of process quality to test direct and moderated effects of early childhood education and care quality on children’s outcomes across a range of domains. This research article adds to existing meta-analyses on associations between the quality of early childhood education services and children’s developmental outcomes.

The averaged effects, pooled within each of the child outcomes suggest that higher levels of
early childhood education and care quality were significantly related to higher levels of academic outcomes.
