Investing in early childhood has proven to have a large rate of return.

“High-quality early interventions promote schooling, reduce crime, reduce teenage pregnancy, foster workforce productivity, and promote adult health through multiple channels.” ~ James J. Heckman, University of Chicago

“Without spending an additional dime, society can redistribute resources from current budgets for unproductive remediation programs towards early childhood programs and improve child and social welfare.” ~ James J. Heckman, University of Chicago
