Product Description:

Using data from 21 Educare schools, the researchers measured the rate at which children from birth to kindergarten-age enter the school and rate at which they exit the school. Educare schools are highly resourced Early Head Start/Head Start programs targeting children at risk, especially children from low-income backgrounds. Results showed that children with a disability tended to stay in the program longer, especially when enrolled in Early Head Start.
