EMPOWERING THE FUTURE:Best Evidence for Investing in Early Childhood Education for Canada
As Canadian policy makers and political leaders
continue to debate the value of investing in preschool
children, they should note the consensus among
Canadian scholars based on both Canadian and
international research. We can improve children’s
lives and the economic and social wellbeing of our
society by investing in early childhood education.
Scholars from economics, psychology, education,
health, medicine, and the neurosciences, agree
that high-quality early childhood education results
in improvements in scholastic, social, and health
outcomes for children and their families, as well as in
economic benefits for Canadian society.
We come together as researchers and scholars
to ask policy makers and political leaders to move
forward in investing in young children using the
comprehensive body of scientific research available.
We offer a succinct overview to urge policy makers
to make investing in high-quality early childhood
education a priority in Canada. We present six
findings from the scientific literature that show why
investment in early childhood is important.
High-quality preschool shows positive outcomes on child language, literacy and math skillsSystematic assessments across Canada indicate
that as many as 25% of kindergarten children show
signs of vulnerability in their physical, language, and
behavioural development at the time of school entry.
A strong body of research indicates that high-
quality early childhood education enhances a
child’s early language, literacy, and math skills when
assessed following program completion. These
findings have been repeatedly replicated and shown
for small targeted programs, as well as large programs
within the public system. Over 40 years of studies
have demonstrated at least a one-third of a year of
advancement in children that attend a high-quality
early childhood education program. Recent findings
![Page 2: Best Evidence for Investing in Early Childhood Education ...€¦ · Correspondence for this letter should be directed to Jennifer Jenkins, Ph. D., C. Psych. Atkinson Chair of Early](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063006/5fb6ea5e72f29152210579ed/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
also indicate that socio-
economically disadvantaged
children are more likely to
benefit from these programs,
thus reducing socioeconomic
related disparities in school
achievement. Giving children
a proper start increases
their language, literacy and
mathematics competency.
High-quality preschool shows positive outcomes on child socio-emotional development
Socio-emotional difficulties in early childhood
are precursors of school dropout, adult mental
health problems, and difficulties in the job market.
With as many as 25% of Canadian kindergarten
children having socio-emotional difficulties,
addressing these problems within preschool and
early elementary school settings is imperative.
These problems can be solved and children can get
onto better developmental trajectories. Effects of
preschool programs that target all children have
been somewhat modest, but effects for children
who are already showing difficulties and working
directly with those children and their parents show
important long-term benefits. These benefits include
reduced substance abuse, school dropout, juvenile
delinquency, and adult criminality, as well as higher
levels of employment and income in the job market.
Greater benefits are seen with higher quality of programsIn Canada, we must increase our investment in early
childhood education without taking shortcuts on
quality. Preschool programs that are high quality
have been repeatedly shown to have larger positive
impacts on the development of a child. Higher-quality
programming also results in improvements that are
more likely to be maintained. The most effective
elements in high-
quality programs
have been shown
to be positive
and stimulating
interactions. Providing
ongoing support
and professional
development helps
ensure that such
positive environments
are being delivered.
When instructional
support is high, children
benefit more. Providing
ongoing professional development, improving
educational requirements, and teacher qualifications
are thus important cornerstones of high-quality
preschool programs.
High quality preschool shows long-lasting benefits and is beneficial for Canada’s diverse population
Although the benefits of preschool on test scores
characteristically weaken over time, cumulating
evidence suggests that persistence of the impact
of preschool into adulthood is seen in a wide range
of important outcomes. Enduring benefits, and
particularly for those in disadvantaged families, include
decreases in school dropout rates, criminal behavior,
and drug use, as well as increased adult earnings.
In an ethnically and economically diverse
population such as Canada’s, public preschool must
be beneficial to all members of our population.
Positive benefits of high-quality preschool are
seen in children from both low- and middle- socio-
economic classes, with stronger effects for children
in low socio-economic circumstances, dual-language
children, and children from immigrant families.
Investing in early childhood education programs
shows long-lasting societal benefits.

The benefits of investing in early childhood education far outweigh the costsDo the benefits of investing in high quality preschool
balance the significant cost? Benefits are evaluated
by 1) decreases in expenditures on programs such as
social assistance, special education, and transfers
to families; and 2) a rise in economic production from
increased adult earnings and tax transfers. Research
has reliably demonstrated that the benefits of
preschool outweigh the costs, indicating a prudent
economic investment. Indeed high-quality preschool
programs are amongst the most cost-effective of the
social programs.
Additional child and family benefits are seen when programs include parent engagementOptimal development of children is dependent on the quality of the home and school environments. Preschool programs with the best long-term effects on reading, math, and social behaviour also include a parenting component. These focus on optimizing parent-child interaction. Therefore, incorporating parent support components to enhance learning outside of the early childhood education program can augment the impact of preschool programs on child early scholastic achievement.
