At the 2014 White House Summit on Early Education, over $1 billion in private, philanthropic, and federal funding was devoted to pre-K and other early childhood interventions. This amount is a small fraction of the $79 billion that is proposed for early childhood interventions by Timothy Bartik, a senior economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, in his book From Preschool to Prosperity. The author presents his case to provide universal full-day pre-K to all children, along with developmental child care, pre-K, and home visiting programs for low-income children. Readers will not find an in-depth description and analysis of every pre-K program; rather, the book is written to convince a broader audience of the value of universal pre-K by highlighting its return on investment.
