Decades of research point to the need for a universal preschool
education program in the U.S. to help give our nation's children a
sound cognitive and social foundation on which to build future
educational and life successes. In addition to enhanced school
readiness and improved academic performance, participation in high
quality preschool programs has been linked with reductions in grade
retentions and school drop out rates, and cost savings associated
with a diminished need for remedial educational services and
justice services. This 2006 book brings together nationally
renowned experts from the fields of psychology, education,
economics and political science to present a compelling case for
expanded access to preschool services. They describe the social,
educational, and economic benefits for the nation as a whole that
may result from the implementation of a universal preschool program
in America, and provide guiding principles upon which such a system
can best be founded.
