Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that children who are enrolled in Head Start or similar enriched preschool programs are more likely to achieve in school and to graduate from high school compared to their peers who did not attend such programs. However, research has not found conclusive evidence of lasting gains in IQ. While attachment with teachers and school officials is important for children, research does not specifically support option B as a direct benefit of Head Start or similar programs. Option A is incorrect as several studies have found that enriched preschool programs lead to lasting positive effects on children's cognitive, social, and emotional development beyond first grade.
