What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews in this topic area focus on early childhood education (ECE) interventions designed for use in school- or center-based settings with 3- to 6-year-old children who are not yet in kindergarten and are attending a center-based program. The primary focus for early childhood education interventions is on cognitive, language, and behavioral competencies associated with school readiness (specifically language, cognitive, and social-emotional development, print knowledge, phonological processing, early reading and writing, and math). Systematic reviews of evidence in this topic area address the following questions: (1) Which ECE interventions improve preschool children's school readiness (specifically their language, cognitive, and social-emotional development, print knowledge, phonological processing, early reading and writing, and math)? (2) Does the effectiveness of ECE interventions differ by type of outcome? and (3) Which ECE interventions are particularly effective for which children?
