Study Backs Benefits of Preschool

It's great to work with somebody who wants to do things differently.

The journal Developmental Psychology has just published new research suggesting that Oklahoma's pre-kindergarten program is a success at helping kids prepare for school. Oklahoma is one of the few states to offer preschool to every four year old. An unusual feature of the program was that the program was staffed by well-educated, well-trained, and well-paid teachers receiving regular public school salaries, reports Michelle Trudeau for National Public Radio. While learning gains were made across the board in every race, Hispanic children made the largest gains. For further details, see: http://mail.ccie.com/go/eed/892
