Early Childhood Education consists of activities and/or experiences that are intended to effect developmental changes in children prior to their entry into elementary school.

Early childhood education can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. High quality early childhood education assists many at-risk children in avoiding poor outcomes, such as dropping out of school. Although the benefits seem to cross all economic and social lines, the most significant gains are almost always noted among children from families with the lowest income levels and the least amount of formal education. Other long-term benefits include decreased crime and delinquency rates and increased high school graduation.
