Does Head Start Work? A 1-Year Follow-Up Comparison of Disadvantaged Children Attending Head Start, No Preschool, and Other Preschool Programs.
Lee, Valerie E.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n2 p210-22 Mar 1988
Comparing 969 economically disadvantaged children attending Head Start, other preschools, or no preschool, this study assessed the Project's effectiveness. Findings indicated that Head Start provided an especially enriching preschool experience, and was an impressive instrument of short-term change in children. Gains in behaviors other than intelligence suggest that program effects may not be limited to the cognitive domain. (RH)
