Summary: In nearly every governor's race, big-city mayoral campaign, and federal education initiative. providing early learning and educational experiences that contribute to children's achieve-ment and success in school is presented as a political as well as an economic and social good. It is no longer the case that we debate whether good early childhood education is cost-effective or beneficial to children (although the continued pursuit of evidence on these is sues is of great importance) but rather that the central feature shaping public discourse and much of public policy at all levels is how to do early education well.
