Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the federal Head Start and Early Head Start programs received a significant increase in funding. Head Start is the longest-running program to address systemic poverty in the United States. It is also one of the most heavily researched programs in the nation. Still, debate continues about the program's effectiveness. Recent research, however, makes a case for investing in Head Start as a means of helping low-income children achieve better outcomes. Studies suggest that while gains may be small or moderate in some cases, participating in Head Start and Early Head Start gives children important advantages in cognitive development, health, and other domains. In addition, a recent study suggests that even impacts considered small can generate lifetime benefits that exceed the current $9,000-per-student estimated cost of Head Start. This Special Report is a summary based on the following publications: (1) "The Benefits and Costs of Head Start." "Social Policy Report" (Ludwig and Phillips 2007); (2) "Making a Difference in the Lives of Infants and Toddlers and Their Families: The Impacts of Early Head Start, Executive Summary." Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (Love et al. 2002); and (3) "Supporting Families, Nurturing Young Children: Early Head Start Programs in 2006." "CLASP Policy Brief" ("Head Start Series") (Hoffman and Ewen 2007). This report discusses the results of studies evaluating the cost effectiveness and impact of the Head Start and Early Head Start programs. [This report was featured as the Special Report in the April 2009 issue of the Office of Child Development's newsletter "Developments."].

Download or read book Do Federal Social Programs Work written by David B. Muhlhausen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing an issue of burning interest to every taxpayer, a Heritage Foundation scholar brings objective analysis to bear as he responds to the important—and provocative—question posed by his book's title. Of course, the answer to that question will also help determine whether the American public should fear budget cuts to federal social programs. Readers, says author David B. Muhlhausen, can rest easy. As his book decisively demonstrates, scientifically rigorous national studies almost unanimously find that the federal government fails to solve social problems. To prove his point, Muhlhausen reports on large-scale evaluations of social programs for children, families, and workers, some advocated by Democrats, some by Republicans. But it isn't just the results that matter. It's the lesson to readers on how Americans can—and should—accurately assess government programs that cost hundreds of billions of dollars each year. At the book's core is an insistence that we move beyond anecdotal reasoning and often-partisan opinion to measure the effectiveness of social programs using objective analysis and scientific methods. At the very least, the results of such analysis will, like this book, provide a sound basis for much-needed public debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are nearly six million children under the age of 5 living in poverty in the world's richest country.

It explains the multiple ways in which early-life poverty robs millions of children of a promising future, and calls for dramatic changes in how we approach this problem.
Download or read book Health and Education in Early Childhood written by Arthur J. Reynolds and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and Education in Early Childhood presents conceptual issues, research findings, and program and policy implications in promoting well-being in health and education in the first five years of life. Leading researchers in the multidisciplinary fields of early learning and human capital formation explore the themes of the integration of health and education in promoting young children's well-being; the timing of influences on child development; and the focus on multiple levels of strategies to promote healthy early development. Through this, a unique framework is provided to better understand how early childhood health and education predictors and interventions contribute to well-being at individual, family, community and societal levels, and to policy development. Key topics addressed in the chapters include nutritional status, parenting, cognitive development and school readiness, conduct problems and antisocial behavior, obesity, and well-being in later childhood and adulthood.
