New scientific findings are reporting that children who received high-quality early care and education in the Abecedarian Project from birth to age 5 enjoy better physical health in their mid-30s than peers who did not attend the program.
Frances Campbell, FPG Senior scientist and principal investigator of the Abecedarian Project, stated that "to our knowledge, this is the first time that actual biomarkers, as opposed to self-reports of illnesses, have been compared for adult individuals who took part in a randomized study of early childhood education."
This research demonstrates scientific evidence towards the implication of health and high quality early care and education. Read more about this study HERE
