学习从婴儿期开始，远早于正规教育开始，并持续一生。早期的学习导致后来的学习，早期的成功导致后来的成功，正如早期的失败导致后来的失败。这一阶段的成败奠定了在校学习成败的基础，而在校学习的成败又反过来导致了毕业后学习的成败。最近对幼儿期投资的研究显示出显著的成功，并表明早期对早期学习很重要。此外，高质量的幼儿干预措施对学习和动机具有持久的影响。作为一个社会，我们不能把对儿童的投资推迟到他们成年，也不能等到他们达到学龄-那时进行干预可能为时已晚。
Learning starts in infancy, long before formal education begins, and continues throughout life. Early learning begets later learning and early success breeds later success, just as early failure breeds later failure. Success or failure at this stage lays the foundation for success or failure in school, which in turn leads to success or failure in post-school learning. Recent studies of early childhood investments have shown remarkable success and indicate that the early years are important for early learning. Moreover, early childhood interventions of high quality have lasting effects on learning and motivation. As a society, we cannot afford to postpone investing in children until they become adults, nor can we wait until they reach school age – a time when it may be too late to intervene.
