The developments of early educational programs are very limited but are available, and it is up to the parents to decide if the cost of the early education program is affordable to them. Nores and Barnett describe that much of the growth in funding for programs has been due to the expansions by the public sector, yet child care continues to be mostly privately provided and is often provided by caregivers with little or no formal preparation (Nores and Barnett, 2009). Each state in the United States controls their education section. There are two publicly funded programs that serve low income students to help children be able to receive the early education that is needed to succeed; those two programs are the ECEAP program which stands for Early

School choice plans are normally limited by zip codes in the United States. This means that sometimes a lack of educational resources and could be seen in a more poverty stricken area. This could be why we see an increase in problems among many minorities, especially in inner cities that are more populated with African Americans. Black poverty rates are increasingly higher than whites meaning that we would tend to see students in low income areas more at risk for a lesser amount of education and more kids able to fail when they begin their schooling education. According to Kiernan and Mensah it is well established that children who experience poverty are more likely than their more advantaged peers to experience lower levels of educational attainment and there is evidence that poverty during early childhood and persistent poverty may be particularly deleterious Kiernan and Mensah, (2011). On the other hand, many children living in poor situations do well and the ways children are parented may be part of the explanation for this as we clearly stated in the earlier portion of the review explaining how helpful the positive parenting is. One hypothesis on the rise of early education cost could be that since in recent years the large majority of young children now regularly attend child care before their entry into schools so the rates of care for preschool-aged children are now higher than for infants …show more content…
It is an obvious issue when a classroom with anxious toddlers is overpopulated and the teacher would be able to spend enough one on one time with each child to ensure they are all receiving the same level of education. According to Normore and Ilon (2006) many studies have indicated that class size reduction does have a positive impact in several areas: more time to cover curriculum, higher levels of student-student and student-teacher engagement, and safer schools with fewer discipline issues. This type of research with surveys would be very beneficial for us to see if there is actual a common link between class sizes and education achievement scores. Barnett (2008) reviewed a recent study in California revealing that state pre-K offered the highest educational quality, but that educational quality averaged across all programs, public and private, was relatively low. A common preschool class ratio should normally be ten students to every one
