Description: This study extends the literature on expressive vocabulary acquisition and its relation to environmental characteristics by investigating a group of German-speaking children in the context of two different early care arrangements: exclusive parental-care and center-based daycare. Children’s early vocabulary was assessed at 24 months of age using a checklist for parents. A socially homogeneous sample allowed the analysis of care effects in the absence of parental education confounds.
