Description of Contents
This paper mainly touch on three types of interventions which might reduce disparities between the children who were born in the United States, and their counterparts; expanded Access to initial childhood education, policies which have the capacity of improving the children’s physical health,, and efforts that are paid to forge family-school partnerships. These interventions, if combined, reflect how early learning patterns emerge from the intersection of multiple developmental processes.
Review
The three options figured out in this report are all fields of important current national, state, and local policy activity. The paper has also importance in suggesting some hints to put an end to this problem, for example, it says Maintaining and improving investments during the critical phases of early childhood will be the key to promoting their future academic achievement and productivity as adults ibn the workforce.
