Consequences of Teen Parents’ Child-Care Arrangements for Mothers and Children

---

Using the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001 – 2006; N ≈ 7,900), the authors examined child-care arrangements among teen parents from birth through prekindergarten. Four latent classes of child care arrangements at 9, 24, and 52 months emerged: (a) ‘‘parental care,’’ (b) ‘‘center care,’’ (c) ‘‘paid homebased care,’’ and (d) ‘‘free kin-based care.’’
Disadvantaged teen-parent families were overrepresented in the ‘‘parental care’’ class, which was negatively associated with children’s preschool reading, math, and behavior scores and mothers’ socioeconomic and fertility outcomes compared with some nonparental care classes. Nonparental care did not predict any negative maternal or child outcomes, and different care arrangements had different benefits for mothers and children. Time spent in nonparental care and improved maternal outcomes
contributed to children’s increased scores across domains. Child-care classes predicted maternal outcomes similarly in teen-parent and nonteen-parent families, but the ‘‘parental care’’ class predicted some disproportionately negative child outcomes for teen-parent families.

Key Words: adolescent parents, child care, child-care arrangements, early childhood, latent class analysis, life course.
