| Summary: | The report aims at providing an analysis of the effects of ECE on the cognitive and social development of children in the long run based on the statistical analysis. In this study, various educational programs have been analyzed to see their effectiveness on children’s development, thus helping to identify the most important factors that influence the educational outcome. The research strategy that is used in this study involves the integration of the longitudinal data and cross-sectional surveys to evaluate the efficacy of ECE on cognitive skills, social behavior, and health status. Longitudinal design allows following the children’s development over several years, thus giving a broad understanding of the effects of ECE. The quantitative data that were collected test included scores, standard parent and teacher questionnaires, and observational measures to give a complete picture of the effects of ECE. The results show the importance of early intervention by showing great improvements in language development, literacy, numeracy, pro-social skills like cooperation, empathy and self-regulation of children who are enrolled in ECE programs. Furthermore, this study also emphasis on the benefits of early childhood education such as, better academic performance, better job opportunities as well as, better mental health. These results provide a basis for policy recommendations which suggest that there should be increased emphasis on the improvement of the quality of ECE programs so that everyone has access to them. |
