  • Elements of the Preschool Outdoor Play Environment : Associations with Children’s Physical Activity

    Creator:
    Hoke, Kelly L.

    Preschool outdoor play environments (OPEs) are unique spaces that, when carefully designed, can encourage child-initiated play resulting in jumping, chasing, and exploration of materials and natural spaces (Moore, 1996).

  • Effects of ACEs and Parenting Style on Children’s Cortisol Levels at Preschool

    Creator:
    DuBois, Carissa E.
    Abstract:
    Recently, the definition of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has evolved to also encompass environmental and contextual factors, termed expanded ACEs (Lipscomb et al., 2021). Given that responsive relationships in early childhood may dampen the response to traumatic stressors in the context of conventional ACEs (Flinn & England et al., 1997),...

  • Measuring inhibitory control in preschool children : A multi-method perspective

    Creator:
    Alley, Zoe M.
    Abstract:
    Inhibitory control, a salient component of self-regulation, predicts child academic and social competency into the college years. Typical measures of self-regulation (including teacher report, direct assessment, and observation) focus on inhibitory control and are each susceptible to unique flaws. The current study examined whether informant bias or differential contextual environments...

  • Does the classroom experience differ for toddlers with developmental delay or disability?

    Creator:
    Ellis, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    High-quality child care enables children to learn necessary foundational skills, but children with disabilities, compared to typically developing children, are less likely to experience high levels of classroom quality. Further, teacher’s perceptions of children with developmental delay or disability may be skewed, which may lead to a lower-quality classroom experience....

    Creator:
    Ebadirad, Staci W.
    Abstract:
    The quality of parenting, in particular mother-child interactions, is important for children’s development. Sensitive and responsive interactions between the mother and child are linked to children’s language, emotion and behavioral regulation, brain development, and activity in the stress response system (NSCDC, 2007; Mintz et al., 2011, Gunnar & Quevedo, 2007)....
