Abstract
This project was undertaken for the purpose of studying the effects of preschool education under controlled conditions. Specifically this was to be accomplished by setting up an experimental situation in which certain variables could be held to a more uniform level of constancy than would be possible by studying children living in their own homes. Moreover, since there was at hand an opportunity of observing children in an orphanage, correlative aims were the study of the effects of introducing a preschool into an orphanage and the effects of orphanage conditions upon child development at the preschool ages. The research study covered a period of three years. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
