Children who participated in Early Head Start had significantly higher vocabularies and scored higher on standardized measures of cognitive development than did children in a control group who did not participate in Early Head Start. Additionally, Early Head Start children and parents had more positive interactions, and these parents provided more support for learning than did those in a control group.
