Capstone; [FULL-TEXT FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE] While the need for quality early childhood interventions is clear, questions remain surrounding the strategies of intervention including age, outcomes, and effectiveness. This paper will review the Yale Child Welfare Research Program, HighScope Perry Preschool Project, Carolina Abecedarian, and Head Start; assess the outcomes, costs, and benefits associated with each; and conclude with a recommendation for future investment in early childhood intervention.
