The Best Use of Federal Funds for Early Childhood Education.
Fuerst, J. S.; Petty, Roy
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n10 p676-81 Jun 1996

Competing proposals for early intervention, day-care, and child/parent centers are costly, ineffective band-aids. Expanding Head Start into a four- to six-year program starting at age three or four would be the most cost-effective use of federal dollars. (MLH)
