Résumé
This study compares, for non-vulnerable and vulnerable children, externalizing and internalizing behaviors in toddlerhood and preschool years across children attending an educational daycare with those of children remaining under the care of their parent. The 66 participant experienced the same type of care from their first year of life to the year prior to kindergarten (daycare, n = 45; parental care, n = 21). Results indicate that, for non-vulnerable children, type of care isn't associated with externalizing and internalizing behaviors. However, for vulnerable children, attending a daycare is associated with a reduction in externalizing behaviors and with higher (but also decreasing) internalizing behaviors between 2 and 4 years of age. On the other hand, parental
care is associated with an increase in both externalizing and internalizing behaviors. This study suggests that the effect of childcare type on externalizing and internalizing behaviors from 2 to 4 years old is moderated by a child’s vulnerability
