With the growing understanding of the importance of the first five years for child health and development and the consequences for children who face various early-life stressors, states have been expanding their investments in early childhood programs, particularly those targeted toward at-risk children. Such investments have been demonstrated to benefit children and their families in the short run (as children are better prepared to enter school) and in the longer term (as children perform better academically, increase their educational attainment, experience better labor market outcomes, and require fewer social services). Policymakers and the public view such programs as an important economic development strategy that boosts the human capital, and therefore the productivity, of the future workforce. Lynn A.
