Estas estadísticas son especialmente preocupantes porque el éxito académico es un indicador importante de los ingresos y los índices de criminalidad. Los programas preescolares de alta calidad han demostrado que mejoran el rendimiento académico y les dan a los niños las habilidades y herramientas para tener éxito y contribuir a la sociedad. Los resultados de los programas de educación preescolar hablan por sí mismos. Los adultos que participan en los programas de educación preescolar muestran tasas de delincuencia más bajas, y los participantes y sus padres disfrutan de mayores tasas de ingreso que sus contrapartes que no tuvieron la misma oportunidad. Participantes de estos programas también tienen mayor probabilidad de graduarse de la escuela secundaria y son 2,5 veces más probables de continuar a la educación superior.

Much remains to be done to improve access to preschool programs even though they expanded at a promising rate over the past decade. For instance, only 40 percent of four-year-olds are currently enrolled in state-funded early childhood education programs. This figure is even lower for three-year-olds. In fact, 10 states still have no publicly funded preschool programs of any kind. It is hardly surprising,
then, that in low-income communities children enter school an average of 12 to 14 months behind their peers from higher-income brackets. These statistics are especially troubling because academic success is an important indicator of children’s future income and crime rates. High-quality preschool programs are proven to raise academic performance and give children the skills and tools to be successful and contribute to society. The results of early
childhood education programs speak for themselves. Adults who participate in ECE programs show lower crime rates, and both participants and their parents enjoy higher median income rates than their counterparts who were not afforded the same opportunity. ECE participants are also significantly more likely to graduate from high school and are 2.5 times more likely to continue on to higher education. V i s i t americanprogress.org
