“It’s settled that early childhood education is an essential component of any nation’s public policy; children are learning well before kindergarten, and parents are working,” says Jade Jenkins, associate professor of education at the University of California, Irvine, and coauthor of the study published in Science (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adn2141). “What is less settled, however, is how much we should expect preschool to be shaping achievement and well-being later in life.” Two authors of the Science article are CPIP affiliates, Jade Jenkins and Greg Duncan.
