The study outlines recruitment and sampling procedures, measures and data-collection methods, and reports results addressing school readiness, language and literacy, mathematics, social skills, and executive function. Findings summarize group differences between prekindergarten participation levels and non-ECE groups, concluding with implications for program effectiveness and future directions.
