Can school-run, 4-year-old program bridge possible kindergarten divide
Humphrey Institute alumnus Chris Wing is quoted in this story about a possible state-backed, four-year-old preschool program in Wisconsin.
On the way to earning a degree in public policy from the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota, Chris Wing recalls some telling data.
“When we looked at research on early intervention at the Humphrey Institute, I was very impressed with the cost/benefit analyses that showed that providing good programs to four- to five-year-olds was a really sound investment, saving costs across the lifespan and making it more probable that those who received services would be contributing taxpayers,” Wing said.
