What Do We Know About Center-Based Programs for
Infants and Toddlers?

Rationale for IHDP Study
• Neonatal intensive care was saving more and more LBW infants
• LBW infants at risk for delays• When LBW is combined with social risk,
greater chance for delays• Previous intervention research with high
risk samples suggested benefits

Medical Complications
• Lower Respiratory-Tract Conditions• Neurologic Problems• Ophthalmologic Problems• Sensori-Neural Hearing Loss• Serious Congenital Anomalies• Illnesses Resulting in Rehospitalization
in First Year of Life

DQ and IQ Test Scores
• LBW < NBW From 3-78 Months• Differences at all ages related to degree
of LBW• Differences more pronounced from 30-78
months by social class

Early Intervention Programs for LBW Infants
• Nursery• Home-Based• Combined Nursery and Home-Based
Some Reported Short-term Benefits• Weight Gain at Faster Rate• Reduced Apnea• Enhanced Mother-Child Interaction• Higher Bayley MDI Scores at 6 Months,
1 and 2 Years

Preschool Program For NBW, At Risk Children
• Head Start• Perry Preschool Program• Syracuse Family Program• Abecedarian Project• Project CARE
Some Long-term Benefits:• Higher Academic Achievement• Lower Grade Retention• Lower School Drop-out• Reduced Juvenile Delinquency• Increased Employment
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
11
Rationale for the IHDP
• LBW at risk for health and developmental dysfunction.
• Early intervention studies for NBW at risk children demonstrate positive, long-term effects.
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
12
However…at the time…..
• Results from these single site studies are not generalizable;
• Biologic constraints of LBW infants might limit their response to intervention;
• The effect of exposure to infections in group care is unknown in LBW infants.

A National, Multisite, Randomized Clinical Trial
Purpose: To evaluate a comprehensive intervention designed to improve the health and development of LBW, premature infants.
Program Components:» Early Child Development Services» Family Support Services» Pediatric Follow-up Services

Summary of 36 Month IHDP Results (cont’d)
Positive INT effects greatest for:Heavier weight infants
Most disadvantaged infants (lower maternal education, lower family income)
Those with higher levels of participation in the intervention
Positive effects at 7 of 8 sites shows replicability across diverse communities
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
57
Implications of the IHDP Study:Birth to Age 3
Largest multi-site RCT to evaluate an intervention with LBW infants and toddlers.Site diversity allows generalization of results.Definitive evidence of efficacy of early intervention for LBW premature infants.Greatest effects with those at social risk.Group care feasible for biologically vulnerable infants.Relevance to eligibility issues for early intervention.

What can we say about key components of high-quality center-based programs for
infants and toddlers?
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
65
Key Program Characteristics
• Small group size• High teacher-child ratio• High health & safety standards• Appropriate facilities and play materials• Well-trained teachers• Transportation to center (if needed)
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
66
Key Program Characteristics (contd)
• Consultation with health providers and social workers
• Attention to parent-center communication and alliance via:– Parent groups – Home visits– Parent-teacher communication (notes,
visits to center)
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
67
Key Program Characteristics (contd)
• Developmentally-appropriate curriculum:– Play-based– Has affective and cognitive focus
• Ongoing monitoring and training to assure implementation of educational curriculum
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
68
Essential Features of Curriculum• Encourage exploration• Mentor in basic skills• Celebrate developmental advances• Guided rehearsal & extension of new
skills• Protect from inappropriate disapproval,
teasing, or punishment• Provide a rich & responsive language
environmentSource: Ramey & Ramey. (1992). Mental Retardation.

69
Policy Issues to Consider
• How to scale up and maintain high quality
• How to hire, train, and retain highly qualified teachers
• How to achieve optimal parent participation
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
70
Policy Issues to Consider (contd)
• How to serve diverse populations (e.g., diverse cultures, children with disabilities and other special needs)
• How to coordinate center-based programs with other health and social services families need
• How to fund programs
Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development
71
Policy Issues to Consider (contd)
• How to provide continuous high quality programs after age 3 to maximize long-term benefits.
• How to increase public awareness of:– the need for high quality early care,– the need for ongoing high quality education
to sustain early benefits.
