The Spring 2004 issue of Harvard Family Research Project’s “The Evaluation Exchange” periodical charts the course of early childhood programming and evaluation over nearly half a century. Contributing authors offer a range of views on how best to communicate the importance of investing in a child’s early years and how to improve early childhood programs and policies. Several articles consider the explosion of science — from longitudinal studies of child outcomes to a large-scale demonstration program — that has helped forward our understanding of how young children learn and grow. Finally, a number of articles suggest that better information is needed to close the persistent gap in achievement between children from low-income families and those from middle-income homes.
