Early Childhood education

From the Economic Policy Institute: Enriching Children, Enriching the Nation, May 3, 2007
Research is increasingly demonstrating that investing in high-quality prekindergarten programs provides a wide array of significant benefits to children, families, and society as a whole, including job creation, inequality reduction, education and health care improvements, and reduced crime rates. This new book by Robert G. Lynch examines the costs and benefits of either targeted or universal prekindergarten programs and shows the positive effects these programs have on the economy, federal and state budgets, crime, and the educational achievement of children and future earnings of adults. $14.95
