Early Childhood Educators Should Regular Visit the Homes of the Kids

A study con­ducted by Christopher Walters finds that Head Start, Americas answer to early childhood centers offer­ing full-day ser­vice boost cog­ni­tive skills more than other cen­ters and cen­ters offer­ing fre­quent home vis­it­ing are espe­cially effec­tive at rais­ing non-cognitive skills. Other key inputs, includ­ing the High/Scope cur­ricu­lum, teacher edu­ca­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, and class size, are not asso­ci­ated with increased effec­tive­ness.
