Thanks for the reports. Here is the first one I picked up: ""Head Start study finds long-term impact Despite doubts cast by previous studies of Head Start, a long-term study shows that a Head Start program of the 1970s, which was part of the National Planned Variation Head Start Project, helped participating young children achieve greater school success and avoid crime as they grew up. Earlier studies of the federal Head Start preschool program for low-income children and families, which began in 1965, found short-lived effects on children's test scores, prompting the government to make program improvements.>> The schools do have to be good. But the kids love it. They love the socialization and are so curious at that age that school is fun for them. I only did half days though. But the benefits of early childhood development is a truism in the academic community. Most people with univeristy degrees, put their kids in good pre schools. My older daughter and her husband (a university professor) pay a huge amount of their income for their kids pre school (her school offers Japanese). The house they bought was in an area where they wanted the kids to go to school. Early childhood development is very useful. Never to early to start. A zillion tests showing how reading to ones child helps them academically. Here is an idea, if a child was raised in a home were there were five people all who spoke a different language, by the time that kid was five I am sure they would be fluent in all five languages. The child would learn them with no effort.
