“…On average, quality criteria are more likely to be met in CPE than in private childcare services according to different surveys in the province [77,84,85,86]. Furthermore, Laurin et al (2016) demonstrated that exclusive attendance to a CPE was beneficial for children from low-income families in significantly reducing their risk of being developmentally vulnerable, compared to other early educational pathways [87]. However, from 2009 to 2016, the proportion of total daycare spaces in CPEs dropped significantly in Quebec because of changes in governmental policies, i.e., new tax credits and increased permit deliverance for private daycare services [88].…”

“…In 2012, only one in three children having attended early educational services had exclusively attended a CPE mainly because of lack of available spaces [89]. In MTL, access to CPE remains a problem for a majority of families, but some programs targeting disadvantaged children aim to integrate them in priority at low or no cost [87,88,90]. In Australia, ensuring the most deprived children have access to high-quality early education services seems to be more of a challenge that may be contributing to the greater inequities we observed in MEL compared to MTL [71,75,76].…”

“…It is likely that some of the poor test results are due to language barriers, as the SEE is performed in German and a considerable number of children in deprived quarters were not born in Germany and may not yet have achieved the same grasp of the language as their German-born peers. For these children, improved access to social institutions such as kindergarten could be particularly beneficial [53]. The high number of children achieving sub-par results in the developmental tests is in particular contrast to the very low number of children actually receiving a referral.…”

“…Despite inconsistencies across studies, there appear to be larger benefits of child care for children from disadvantaged backgrounds (poverty, low maternal education) for cognitive and emotional/behavioural outcomes (Laurin, Guay, Fournier, Bigras, & Solis, ; Melhuish, ; Vandell, ), including reduced physical aggression and increased school readiness (Côté et al., ; Geoffroy et al., ). It is also important to consider that children from disadvantaged families are more likely to attend a low‐quality child‐care setting (Japel, Tremblay, & Côté, ; Pianta, Barnett, Burchinal, & Thornburg, ) and less likely to attend regularly compared to children from more advantaged backgrounds (Institut de la statistique du Québec, ).…”
