Cheever, Daniel S., Jr.; Ryder, Anne E. – Principal, 1986
Studies confirm the educational advantages and cost-effectiveness of high-quality early childhood programs and have made more persuasive the argument for developing such programs. The most important determinants of such programs are: group size, qualifications and training of staff, stability of care, and adult-child ratio. (MD)

Children who grow up with technology are not necessarily more proficient with…

Wilen, Julie Rubins – 2003
While the notion of starting education early with children has gained momentum in the public's mind, our public policies and investments still do not reflect society's increasing knowledge of how the human brain grows and how very early experiences beginning at birth affect a child's future.
