摘要
Several studies have analysed the impact of attending early childhood education centres on communication, regulatory skills and social-emotional development. These educational institutions have increased in presence annually, partially due to the access of women to the labour market. It has been found that infant education may modulate development in vulnerable contexts (typically associated with negative cognitive outcomes), although the results are contradictory. We presented a study that evaluated Latin American dyads of mothers-infants aged 18 to 24 months regarding the influence of infant education and social vulnerability on Executive Functions (EF) and Communication Skills (CS). To address these goals, toddlers completed several EF tasks and the Early Social Communication Scales. Parents completed the Socioeconomic Level Scale from INDEC. Results revealed that social vulnerability was associated with both EF and CS, daycare attendance was positively related to CS and finally, the contribution of daycare varied by SES on EF. These findings highlight the importance of considering infant education and socioeconomic status to generate equal opportunities from the first months of life.
