Abstract Background: The first years of life are the most important for human development, which is influenced by diverse factors, such as childcare attendance. Yet, little is known about the longitudinal influence of childcare in diverse domains of development. The aim of the present study was to assess the development and to measure potential influences of childcare attendance in two-year-olds from the 2015 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study. Methods: The present study used longitudinal data from the 2015 Pelotas Birth Cohort. Childhood development at two-year-olds was assessed throughout INTER-NDA (INTERGROWTH-21st Neurodevelopment Assessment). Childcare attendance was measured at ages 1 and 2 years old and categorized as: a) never went to childcare; b) attended some childcare (either at 12 or 24 months); c) always attended childcare (both 12 and 24 months). Demographic, socioeconomic, health, and child stimulation variables were considered as confounders. Crude and adjusted analysis of childcare attendance and early childhood development were performed using linear regression. Results: Among the 3,870 infants included in the analyses, around 2/3 never went to childcare. In the crude analyses, any exposure to childcare was positively associated with development, except for in the motor domain. It was also perceived a trend positive association and higher mean values for the always category. In the adjusted analyses only children who always went to childcare had higher development scores in the total (β: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.06; 0.28), cognitive (β: 0.10, 95% CI:-0.003; 0.21) and language (β:0.10, 95% CI:-0.003; 0.21) domains, even after adjustment for stimulation variables. Conclusions: This study suggests that childcare may help improve early childhood development. The association was particularly strong for the total global development domain, even after adjusting for stimulation, but there was no association with motor development. Considering the low prevalence of children in childcare, and that it may support child development it is recommended to improve childcare opportunities in early childhood.

Abstract Background Cognitive and motor dysfunction are hallmark features of the psychosis continuum, and have been detected during late childhood and adolescence in youth who report psychotic experiences (PE). However, previous investigations have not explored infancy and early childhood development. It remains unclear whether such deficits emerge much earlier in life, and whether they are associated with psychotic, specifically hallucinatory, experiences (HE). Methods This study included data from Gen2 participants of The Raine Study (n = 1101), a population-based longitudinal cohort study in Western Australia. Five areas of childhood development comprising: communication; fine motor; gross motor; adaptive (problem-solving); and personal-social skills, were assessed serially at ages 1, 2 and 3 years. Information on HE, depression and anxiety at ages 10, 14 and 17 years was obtained. HE were further subdivided into those with transient or recurrent experiences. Mixed effects logistic regression models and cumulative risk analyses based on multiple domain delays were performed. Results Early poorer development in multiple areas was noted from ages 1, 2 and 3 years among youth who reported HE. Early developmental delays significantly increased the risk for later HE. This association was particularly marked in the recurrent HE group, with over 40% having early developmental delays in multiple domains. There was no significant association between early childhood development and later anxiety/depression apart from lower gross motor scores at age 3. Conclusions The findings suggest that early pan-developmental deficits are associated with later HE, with the effect strongest for young people who report recurrent HE throughout childhood and adolescence.
