Preschool Care and Education: Lessons from the 20th for the 21st Century.

Melhuish, Edward C.

International Journal of Early Years Education, v1 n2 p19-32 Fall 1993

Argues that, in view of the diversity of provisions offered in different countries, simple global generalizations about the effects of out-of-home preschool experiences on later development cannot be justified.
