Quotes from contributors to the Early Childhood field

"This is not the first time universal preschool education has been proposed..Then, as now, the arguments in favor of preschool education were that it would reduce school failure, lower dropout rates, increase test scores, and produce a generation of more competent high school graduates... Preschool education will achieve none of these results.. We simply cannot inoculate children in one year against the ravages of a life of depravation" ~Edward Zigler~

 "Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care deeply" ~T. Berry Brazelton~
