The Scope Perry Preschool program helped poor minority families. In these studies, 3 and 4 year-olds would receive exceptional education and educational opportunities. The teachers of these preschoolers would go to their homes to discuss what they are learning with the parent(s). The parent would then be able to assist the child with what they are learning. These children tended to be more successful and avoided crime/violence.
