Background-Socially disadvantaged children with academic difficulties at school entry are at increased risk for poor health and psychosocial outcomes. Our objective is to test the possibility that participation in childcare -at the population level -could attenuate the gap in academic readiness and achievement between children with and without a social disadvantage (indexed by low levels of maternal education).
