Early Childhood Programs in Other Nations: Goals and Outcomes.
Boocock, Sarane Spence
Future of Children, v5 n3 p94-114 Win 1995
Reviews international research that documents how participation in early childhood programs influenced children's later development and success in school. The research shows participation in preschool promotes cognitive development and school success; program type matters little. Further, maternal employment and reliance on child care do not harm children and may yield benefits if the care is of good quality. (GR)
