Childhood Programs and Practices in the First Decade of Life: Impacts and Implications of the Child-Parent Center Preschool Program

Although significant progress continues in understanding the effects of preschool programs, questions remain about the reliability of long-term impacts for large-scale programs, cost-effectiveness, and the causal mechanisms of change. In this paper, we describe recent findings on the impact of the Child-Parent Center (CPC) preschool program into adulthood and the processes that lead to these effects. Given the program has been run by the Chicago Public Schools for 40 years, the programs consistent evidence of positive effects and high economic returns have significant implications for policy development and modification. The illustrations also show how a confirmatory, theory-driven approach can help advance knowledge in enhancing childrens well-being. Key principles of effectiveness are described for promoting enduring effects.

Childhood Programs and Practices in the First Decade of Life: Early Childhood Development and Human Capital

Since the Great Society era of the 1960s, hundreds of studies have documented positive effects of early childhood programs. Advances in knowledge have contributed not only to the development and improvement of programs but have also spurred expansion of services across the nation (Barnett, Epstein, Friedman, Sansanelli, & Hustedt, 2009; Zigler, Gilliam, & Jones, 2006). These policy changes have been motivated by the synergy of three sets of findings. First, early childhood development (ECD) programs large and small, mostly focused on children ages 3 and 4, have demonstrated strong effects on school readiness, including language and literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional skills (Camilli, Vargas, Ryan, & Barnett, 2010; Gormley, 2007; Karoly, Kilburn, & Cannon, 2005; Reynolds, Wang, & Walberg, 2003). Given the connection between school readiness and later performance, early education is a reliable strategy for enhancing child development outcomes. Second, ECD programs can affect broader well-being in ways ranging from preventing child maltreatment and crime to promoting health behavior (Campbell, Ramey, Pungello, Sparling, & Miller-Johnson, 2002; Reynolds et al., 2007; Schweinhart et al., 2005). Most other social programs do not show such broad and enduring impacts. Finally, ECD programs have demonstrated high levels of cost effectiveness by reducing the need for later remediation and treatment and increasing social benefits (Burr & Grunewald, 2006; Rolnick & Grunewald, 2003, 2007; Temple & Reynolds, 2007). Thus, they are widely considered to be more economically efficient investments than other social programs.
