TL;DR: Participation in an established early childhood intervention for low-income children was associated with better educational and social outcomes up to age 20 years, among the strongest evidence that established programs administered through public schools can promote children's long-term success.

TL;DR: There was a robust association between ACEs and poor outcomes in early adulthood, and greater levels of adversity were associated with poorer self-rated health and life satisfaction, as well as more frequent depressive symptoms, anxiety, tobacco use, alcohol use, and marijuana use.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the association between parent involvement in early intervention and children's later school competence and found that even after controlling for family background, the number of activities in which parents participated in preschool and kindergarten was significantly associated with higher reading achievement, with lower rates of grade retention at age 14 (eighth grade), and with fewer years in special education.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted the first costbenefit analysis of a federally financed, comprehensive early childhood program and found that the measured and projected economic benefits of preschool participation, school-age participation, and extended program participation exceeded costs.

TL;DR: Support is demonstrated for the enduring effects of sustained school-based early education to the end of the third decade of life for males and children of high school dropouts.
