Abstract
Early educational interventions during the preschool years are widely touted as an effective way to prevent learning difficulties and to promote healthy development. Preschool programs are central to many human service reforms. State and local expenditures for preschool exceed $15 billion annually, and they are expected to continue to increase.1 Advances in the neuroscience of brain development have further accelerated interest and investments in the early years of life.2,3Keywords
