A Comparative Study of the Effects of Preschool Education on Middle Class Children
See More
Abstract/Notes: To determine whether preschool education benefits middle-class elementary school children, a study was conducted which compared the social, motor, and academic progress of kindergarten and elementary school children who had attended a Montessori preschool, another kind of preschool, or no preschool. The sample was chosen according to age, attendance at preschool, and social class. A total of 201 middle-class children between the ages of 64 and 128 months participated in the study. Of those children participating 151 had attended a nursery, day care, or private school prior to entry into kindergarten for 3 or more days a week, for either half or full days. Each of the three groups of subjects contained five age levels roughly corresponding to kindergarten through fourth grade levels. The Developmental Profile II, given in the form of a parent interview, and parent and teacher questionnaires were used to obtain background information and data on children's abilities. The profile indicated the child's development in months on physical, self-help, social, academic, and communication scales. Generally, results indicated that middle-class children in the primary grades, regardless of preschool background, seem to function at the same level. Results and implications are discussed, conclusions are offered, and graphs and tables of data are included in the report.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori preschool children who are English Language Learners (ELL) age three to five, consisting of one female and six males. It was conducted in two different preschool classrooms, focusing on literacy skills as well as oral communication skills. The direct aim of the study was to help children successfully learn English as their second language while keeping their native language. Researchers also investigated whether parental involvement increased the ability of ELLs to learn the English language. Data collection procedures utilized were: (1) parent interviews, (2) observation and anecdotal records, (3) pretest, and (4) post-test. A take-home literacy kit was used to measure the effectiveness of parental involvement. Researchers also provided a take-home literacy kit for parents to work on with their child at home. Parents were given a total of four literacy kits, one new kit each week. Result of this research indicated an improvement in parent and child interaction. The take-home literacy kit fostered communication between parent and child because words were translated in their home language. Over the course of four weeks, children showed great interest in literacy and progress in their communication skills.
