This article discusses the development of children from birth to age 8 and how educators can provide high-quality care that promotes the development of children into the next stages that contribute to short and long term academic and professional success. It clarifies the definition of a high quality early education and discusses the challenges early educators face in the workforce that contribute to low retention rates and how that impacts children under their care. This article is particularly helpful in our research because it includes suggestions to improve early education programs.

The research in this article compares the data from several different early education programs which shows that some programs show no short-term or long-term impacts and some that show that there are positive impacts. This article aids in our research because it gives direction in studying the differences between the programs and why some showed positive impacts and why some did not.

This article is especially helpful in understanding the effects that early education has on the economy and the workforce. It talks about how it impacts the current workforce as well as how it will impact the future of the workforce.

The empirical evidence is that high-quality early childhood education has large effects on a child’s future adult earnings. Early childhood education can increase a child’s future adult earnings by over 25 percent, and many programs have average future earnings effects of 3 percent or much greater. Over a career, even a 3 percent earnings boost amounts to many thousands of dollars.

In the long run, the increased earnings due to early childhood education will be taxed by federal, state, and local governments. The increased earnings from early childhood education will also lower welfare usage, reducing the need for government spending. The drop in criminal activity will reduce prison costs and criminal justice system spending. In the short run, early childhood education may reduce remedial education costs. Several studies suggest that early childhood education reduces special education costs. Special education costs can be an extra $10,000 per year per child. Most studies suggest some reduction in special education costs from early childhood education, although the magnitude varies widely, from 23 to 86 percent.67 Simulation studies conclude that in the long run, many early childhood education investments are self-financing. Estimates by Lynch (2007) suggest that after 43 years, high-quality universal preK’s fiscal benefits will be about eight times program costs. Universal pre-K is estimated to break even from a combined federal and state government perspective after nine years, and for the average state after 23 years. Other simulation estimates are more conservative, but they agree that in the long run, fiscal benefits exceed direct budget costs. Dickens and Baschnagel (2008) conclude that a universal version of the Perry Preschool Program, a relatively expensive program, would break even in budget terms after 49 years.
