Using the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (2001 - 2006; ≈ 7900), we examined child care arrangements among teen parents from birth through prekindergarten. Four latent classes of child care arrangements at 9, 24, and 52 months emerged: "parental care," "center care," "paid home-based care," and "free kin-based care." Disadvantaged teen-parent families were overrepresented in the "parental care" class, which was negatively associated with children's preschool reading, math, and behavior scores and mothers' socioeconomic and fertility outcomes compared to some nonparental care classes. Nonparental care did not predict any negative maternal or child outcomes, and different care arrangements had different benefits for mothers and children. Time spent in nonparental care and improved maternal outcomes contributed to children's increased scores across domains. Child care classes predicted maternal outcomes similarly in teen-parent and nonteen-parent families, but the "parental care" class predicted some disproportionately negative child outcomes for teen-parent families.
利用具有全国代表性的儿童早期纵向研究——出生队列（2001 - 2006年；约7900人），我们研究了青少年父母从孩子出生到学前班期间的 childcare 安排。在9个月、24个月和52个月时出现了四类潜在的 childcare 安排：“父母照料”、“中心照料”、“付费家庭照料”和“免费亲属照料”。处于不利地位的青少年父母家庭在“父母照料”类别中占比过高，与一些非父母照料类别相比，这与孩子的学前阅读、数学和行为得分以及母亲的社会经济和生育结果呈负相关。非父母照料并未预示任何负面的母亲或孩子结果，不同的照料安排对母亲和孩子有不同的益处。花在非父母照料上的时间以及母亲状况的改善有助于孩子在各个领域得分的提高。childcare 类别对青少年父母家庭和非青少年父母家庭的母亲结果的预测相似，但“父母照料”类别对青少年父母家庭的一些孩子结果预示了不成比例的负面影响。
