Book Description
We found that the prekindergarten program had substantial impacts on children's mathematics, vocabulary, and early reading skills, with effect sizes around half a standard deviation higher. The program also had small impacts on multiple dimensions of children's executive functioning and emotional development. In addition, on some outcomes, the impacts we detected were considerably larger for specific subgroups of children, including those eligible for free/reduced lunch, and for Asian and Hispanic children. In sensitivity analyses, our results were robust to a variety of critical threats to internal validity. Our results inform important curricular decisions that must be made when public prekindergarten programs are implemented. For policymakers, our results confirm that publicly funded prekindergarten programs can improve subsequent educational outcomes for children in meaningful and important ways.
