Inner Force Tots provides educational child care for urban children between 2 weeks and 5 years old. The organization also serves older children with school vacation care and enrichment through age13. Through a developmentally complete program, Inner Force Tots prepares students for success throughout school years and beyond.
A high-quality early education can significantly increase a child's chances of school success, according to data released by the American Educational Research Association. This data comes from researchers across the United States, who engaged in a meta-analysis of studies that evaluated the impact of services for children up to 5 years old.
Results revealed that early childhood programs reduced students' risk of grade retention by 8.3 percentage points and decreased chances of special-education placement by 8.1 percentage points. Perhaps more significantly, however, the same programs increased students' high school graduation rate by more than 11 points.
This translates not only to additional evidence for benefits of early education during the school years of middle childhood, but also to proof that the benefits extend well into adolescence. Researchers also emphasize that a reduction in special-education services and grade retention translates to significant decreases in education costs, while increased high school graduation rates raise lifetime earnings for each student by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
