For over twenty years, Early Childhood Research Quarterly (ECRQ) has influenced the field of early
childhood education and development through the publication of empirical research that meets the highest standards of scholarly and practical
significance. ECRQ publishes predominantly empirical research (quantitative or qualitative methods) on issues of interest to early childhood
development, theory, and educational practice (Birth through 8 years of age).
The journal also occasionally publishes practitioner
and/or policy perspectives, book reviews, and significant reviews of research. As an applied journal, we are interested in work that
has social, policy, and educational relevance and implications and work that strengthens links between research and practice.
Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Children's social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, language, and motor development
applied to early childhood settings.
• Childcare, program quality, and children's transition to school
• The efficacy
of early intervention and prevention programs
• Public policy, early childhood education, and child development
•
Best classroom practices and effective early childhood curricula
• Professional development and training for early childhood
practitioners
• Multicultural, international and inclusive early care and education
Early Childhood Research Quarterly
is the scholarly journal affiliated with the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
