Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Any school district struggling with low test scores, high mobility, and/or high poverty should consider the benefits of early intervention--and read this book."
(Mathieu Aubuchon, Preschool Coordinator )"This volume is exemplary in synthesizing research and condensing pertinent data on early childhood services both for practitioners and policy makers." (Charles Bruner, Director )
"For practitioners, advocates, parents, and concerned citizens, this is an informative, useful examination of what research tells about the long-range effects of various programs for young children. The bibliographies are extensive, the format is accessible, and the conclusions clear and convincing." (CHOICE, March 2007 )
"A contribution to an important dialogue on how we can better fulfill the promise of high-quality early childhood care and education for all children." (PsycCRITIQUES, December 2007, Vol. 52, No. 49 )
"Packed with research-based program findings and practical recommendations, this book furnishes a wealth of information for both the field practitioner and the program researcher. The book would be ideal for a book study. Early education teachers, child care directors, and Head Start personnel would all benefit from discussing the relevant topics." (Dimensions of Early Childhood, Winter 2008, Vol. 36(1) )
