“This revolution has been going on for quite a while. The research had been around that early stimulation made a difference in children’s learning,” said Libby Doggett, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Pre-K Now.
Studies have shown children are so much more capable than previously thought that parents really need to pay more attention to children in the first five years before they enter kindergarten, she added.
