You are cordially invited to the publication of a new report on the influence of non-parental childcare on the cognitive development of five-year-olds, based on almost 11,000 children and their parents. The findings will be launched by the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Dr James Reilly, T.D. on Thursday 3rd December.
Non-Parental Childcare and Child Cognitive Outcomes at Age Five investigates the effects of childcare in early life on children’s cognitive development (i.e. vocabulary and reasoning skills) at age five using a large representative sample of children (circa 9,000) from the Growing Up in Ireland study.  At age three, prior to the Free Preschool Year, the main types of non-parental care are relative care (e.g. a grandparent), non-relative care (e.g. a childminder) and centre-based care (e.g. crèche).
The report draws on information collected in the first three waves of the Growing Up in Ireland study.
The new findings will be launched as part of Growing Up in Ireland’s Annual Research Conference 2015. In addition to the new findings, a total of 22 research papers based on data from the study will be presented by researchers from a wide range of third level and research institutions. The research will focus on a range of topics including health, socio-emotional well-being, education and childcare. (See below for a full list of papers to be presented or log onto http://www.growingup.ie/index.php?id=282 for more details).
A press release will be issued on Wednesday 2nd December, 2015.
