To what extent does variation in the quality of children’s Head Start experiences affect children’s development? The Head Start Impact Study HSIS has demonstrated that children who participate in Head Start experience improved preschool quality on average and improved school readiness compared with similar children who do not have access to Head Start. This report uses data from the Head Start Impact Study HSIS to examine variations based on Head Start center quality in the program’s impact on children’s development.
