Cal Study Highlights Benefits of PreschoolA recent study conducted by the University of California found that preschool helps shrink achievement gaps between poor and rich children and better prepares students from all backgrounds for kindergarten. According to the report, which was released Sept. 8, all children who received early and regular preschool exposure showed signs of improvement, however the benefits were most dramatic for minority and low-income children. In a less positive finding, the report said that children who attended preschool for long hours, more than 34 per week, showed slightly higher levels of aggression and immature social behavior.
