Bolded confidence intervals represent significant effects in bootstrapped analyses; **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 in non-bootstrapped models. N = 48 teachers, 138 children. BRIEF-P, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool; Yrs, Years; ECE, Early childhood educator; AIC, Akaike’s Information Criterion; Est, Estimate. Pseudo R² is marginal and reflects the variance attributable to the fixed effects.
