This book is a valuable source of information on the long-term
effects of early intervention programs on the education of children
living in economically disadvantaged areas and in other contexts.
Early intervention programs such as Head Start enjoy popular and
legislative support, but until now, policymakers and practitioners
have lacked hard data on the long-term consequences of such locally
and federally mandated efforts. Success in Early Intervention
focuses on the Child-Parent Center (CPC) program in Chicago, the
second oldest (after Head Start) federally funded early childhood
intervention program. Begun in 1967, the program currently operates
out of twenty-four centers, which are located in proximity to the
elementary schools they serve. The CPC program's unique features
include mandatory parental involvement and a single, sustained
educational system that spans preschool through the third grade.
Central to this study is a 1986 cohort of nearly twelve hundred CPC
children and a comparison group of low income children whose
subsequent activities, challenges, and achievements are followed
through the age of fifteen. The lives of these children amply
demonstrate the positive long-term educational and social
consequences of the CPC program.
