PRESCHOOL
Did you know what a student learns in preschool is linked to a better life as an adult?
Yes, research from Vanderbilt University shows:
Learning how to be well behaved as a young child, it turns out, is one of the strongest predictors of adult success. In some categories, such as crime, employment and health outcomes, up to 70 percent of the benefits of attending the Perry Preschool are due to the project’s effect on reducing externalizing behaviors. Additionally, the research suggests that the necessary skills are quite teachable.
Here are a number of research based sites that focus on teaching preschoolers how to be well-behaved.
