The Early Childhood Experimental Design Study, conducted by the Washington State PIRC in conjunction with Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, seeks to document the success of a home visit model to increase the school readiness skills of low-income preschool children. The study, funded by the Dept. of Education, will publish results and make information available to other communities that may want to replicate the model. Questions about processes or procedures are encouraged and should be directed to Karen Weakley, Early Childhood Education Trainer at 509-544-5769.
