Introduction The importance of early childhood education has been the focus of many studies for the long term effect on a child’s readiness to begin the formal education experience. The child development centers that promote a healthy environment that is vital to the development of the children in their care. The families that come from socio-economical disadvantaged communities rely on the services of a child development center to ensure their children have a wonderful start to their child’s early education initial introduction. Barnett (1995) stated that public investments in quality early childhood care and education can produce important long-term improvements in the intellectual and social development of disadvantaged children.
Influences of Early Learning Success The influence of early childhood educational learning has had a positive effect on the graduation rate of student that lives in disadvantage communities. The child development centers that serve the children that are successful usually offer services that include home visits, parent support, in class services for their students, and other development programs for their population (Pinkus, 2008). The study that Barnett (1995) conducted showed that the effect on high school graduation and delinquency was strong especially for the children that were from low income families. The persistence of the teachers and caregivers made a meaningful difference in the early childhood experience of a number of preschool programs (Katz, 1992). The early learning success can also mean difference in avoiding delinquent behavior, special education, dropping out of school, and graduating from high school (Barnett, 1995). Begley (2000) stated that recent brain research has verified the importance of social and cognitive development for early learning success.
