This literature review is one of multiple components to the Child Care and Early Education Quality Features, Thresholds and Dosage and Child Outcomes (Q-DOT) project. This project, which is examining evidence and providing new data on the relationship between the quality of early care settings and children’s outcomes, is looking at whether thresholds of quality, levels of dosage, and quality features are associated more strongly with children’s positive outcomes.
