Early Childhood Education Enrollment

Reports & Graphics

Definition

Percentage of 3 and 4 year olds enrolled in Head Start, state pre-K or special education, 2010-2011 school year.

Description

The first years in a child’s life are critical to healthy brain development and future academic success, and research has shown that early childhood education significantly improves the scholastic success and educational achievements of poor children even into early adulthood. Moreover, high-quality, targeted interventions such as preschool save money by preventing future expenses for remedial education, incarceration and cash assistance.
