Child Care Social Climate

The quality of children?s early relationships with their teachers in child care is emerging as an important predictor of children?s social relations with peers as older children. In this study, we explore the relative contributions of early classroom social/emotional climate and individual relationships and behaviors to social competence with peers five years later.
