Abstract
The expansion of nonparental child care in the U.S. has led to increased scholarly attention to the home–daycare link. The home–daycare literature seeks to explore the patterns of relationships and paths of influence that define this dual ecology. The present review summarizes and comments on the central themes that define the home–daycare literature: (1) the influence of daycare on children’s home experience; (2) the influence of the home environment on children’s daycare experience; (3) reciprocal patterns of developmental influence; (4) the caregiver–parent relationship; (5) the role of child characteristics in cross-contextual adaptation; (6) the intercontextual continuity issue. The purpose of this review is to help organize existing knowledge on the home–daycare link as well as aid in outlining the future agenda for home–daycare ecology research.
