Metadata: Identification and Summary
Title
Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) Longitudinal 9-Month-Kindergarten 2007
Alternative title
ECLS-B 9 months-Kindergarten
Description
The ECLS-B provides descriptive data on children’s health status at birth; children’s experiences in the home, nonparental care, and school; and children’s development and growth through kindergarten. The data collected in the ECLS-B can be used to explore the relationships between children’s developmental outcomes and characteristics of their family, health care, nonparental care, school, and community. The longitudinal nature of the study enables researchers to study children’s physical, social, and emotional growth and to relate trajectories of growth and change to variations in children’s experience.
The data file includes information on children's development across multiple settings (e.g., home, childcare, school) during 9-month, 2-year, preschool, and kindergarten years.
