艺术丰富提供了不同的渠道获得入学准备技能，并可能提供重要的教育机会，为学生从不同的背景和不同的需求。研究1考察了为低收入儿童服务的艺术富集学前班的成就。结果表明，学生通过早期学习，音乐，创造性的运动，视觉艺术类实践入学准备技能。参加学前班2年的学生表现出比参加1年的学生更高的成绩，这表明成熟本身并不能解释成绩的提高。在2年的课程出勤率和四个时间点的评估，学生在学校准备技能的提高，并有种族/民族或发展水平的成就增长没有显着的影响。研究2比较了参加艺术富集学前班的学生和参加附近替代方案的学生，他们的接受性词汇量可以预测学校的成功。在一年的出勤结束时，艺术课程的学生表现出更大的接受性词汇比那些在比较学前班。结果表明，艺术丰富可能会提高处于危险中的儿童的教育成果。(c)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Arts enrichment provides varied channels for acquiring school readiness skills and may offer important educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds and with diverse needs. Study 1 examined achievement within an arts enrichment preschool that served low-income children. Results indicated that students practiced school readiness skills through early learning, music, creative movement, and visual arts classes. Students who attended the preschool for 2 years demonstrated higher achievement than those who attended for 1 year, suggesting that maturation alone did not account for achievement gains. Across 2 years of program attendance and four time points of assessment, students improved in school readiness skills, and there were no significant effects of race/ethnicity or developmental level on achievement growth. Study 2 compared students attending the arts enrichment preschool to those attending a nearby alternative on a measure of receptive vocabulary that has been found to predict school success. At the end of 1 year of attendance, students in the arts program showed greater receptive vocabulary than those at the comparison preschool. Results suggest that arts enrichment may advance educational outcomes for children at risk. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
