Can you believe it? A recent study from Georgetown University found that those who attend preschool are getting better scores in math and reading in Jr. High School! The researchers follow 4,000 kids in Tulsa, Ok. and found that a high quality preschool, "has a long term cognitive effect." This continuing study began in 2006 and found that in their 8th grade year, students who attended preschool were ALL scoring higher on their standardized tests and were more likely to be taking Algebra which is a predictor for college readiness. They have forecasted that since these kids will be making more money and avoiding incarceration, every preschool dollar spent will actually make them $2!
AH THE POWER OF PRESCHOOL!
