The Value of Early Childhood Education
A new publication of the Economic Policy Institute makes a
strong case for the value of early childhood education. In his book,
Enriching Children, Enrich the Nation Public Investment in High-Quality
Pre-kindergarten, Robert L. Lynch reviews and analyzes a wide number of
studies on the outcomes of early childhood education and observes . . .
"A strong consensus has developed among experts who have
studied high-quality early childhood development programs that these programs
have substantial and enduring payoffs."
These Benefits Include:
- Higher levels of verbal, mathematical, and general
intellectual achievement
- Greater success at school, including less grade retentions,
less need for special education, and higher graduation rates
- Higher employment and earnings
- Less welfare dependency
- Better health outcomes
- Lower crime rates
