Timothy J. Bartik
Substantial research shows that high-quality early childhood education programs have a large economic payoff. This payoff is increased earnings for former child participants, increased earnings for parents, and increased earnings for all workers when average worker skills improve.

But each dollar invested in this package would yield future economic benefits of over 10 times as great.
