"In two studies appearing in a special issue of Developmental Psychology, researchers show the benefits of universal pre-K programs (serving 4 year-olds) and Early Head Start programs (serving infants, toddlers, and their families) on children's cognitive and language development, but especially for those children who are from low-income families. The study of pre-K documented benefits in several aspects of school readiness, and the Early Head Start study showed gains in social-emotional development and benefits for parents as well."
