It has long been believed that a child’s success begins very early in life. A study on Educare centers is finding that this is not just a belief but that it is a fact. The study compared children who were enrolled for a year in a program to those who were not. The children enrolled performed better than those who were not enrolled in a program.
Children enrolled for a year in an enhanced Head Start program known as Educare show better results on tests of auditory and expressive language skills, parent-reported problem behaviors, and parent-child interactions compared to children who were not able to enroll in the program, a new study has found.
The positive effects on the children who were enrolled in the Educare program include better interaction between parent and child, more positive behavior reports from parents and higher test scores on various language skills. Educare’s model is Center-based. Educare’s model is significant because it allows high-quality early education to be provided to many children.
Key Point:
  • More than 200 children under 19 months who were enrolled in Educare were reported on for a study.
  • Children who took part in Educare scored higher than children who didn’t.
  • There are 21 Educare locations in 18 cities that serve a diverse population.
