The Impacts of Expanding Access to High-Quality Preschool Education

Abstract: President Obama's "Preschool for All" initiative calls for dramatic increases in the number of 4 year olds enrolled in public preschool programs and in the quality of these programs nationwide. The proposed program shares many characteristics with the universal preschools that have been offered in Georgia and Oklahoma since the 1990s. This study draws together data from multiple sources to estimate the impacts of these "model" state programs on preschool enrollment and a broad set of family and child outcomes.… Show more

“…It is difficult to distinguish these contributions on the basis of the cases we have examined. There is good evidence that high-SES parents are substantially more likely to send their children to a private school (or a school-like environment such as center-based care or part-time nursery school) when universal prekindergarten schooling is not available (Cascio & Schanzenbach 2013, Duncan & Magnuson 2013. Hence, it can be argued that the provision of universal preschool equalizes access to school for young children.…”

“…Such views have been shaped by long-run experimental evidence from some model programs (i.e., Perry Preschool, Abecedarian), showing that, in addition to end-of-preschool impacts on school readiness, preschool participants are less likely to be retained or drop out of high school, as well as more likely to attend a 4-year college compared with children who did not attend preschool, and have increased rates of employment and earnings, as well as lower rates of adult poverty and arrest, perhaps as a result of increased educational attainment and skill (Barnett & Masse, 2007; Belfield, Nores, Barnett, & Schweinhart, 2006; Campbell et al, 2014; Campbell et al, 2012; Campbell, Ramey, Pungello, Sparling, & Miller-Johnson, 2002; Campbell et al., 2008; Schweinhart, 2005). Strong quasi-experimental studies find substantial intermediate effects of attending state preschool programs on school achievement in the elementary and middle school years (Andrews, Jargowsky, & Kuhne, 2012; Cascio & Schanzenbach, 2013). Notably, a series of studies by Dodge, Ladd, & Muschkin (2017; 2014; 2015) on North Carolina’s public preschool funding found positive impacts on achievement, and a reduction in grade retention, and special education placement through the end of fifth grade.…”
