Description:
This paper reviews research on the design and effectiveness of preschools in the United States. Three randomized controlled trials that enrolled roughly 350 total children in demonstration studies during the 1960s and 1970s shape much of the current discussion of preschool. The authors examine what these studies and more recent ones based on random assignment research designs reveal about preschools today. (author abstract)
