Early Childhood Education consists of activities and experiences offered by schools, preschools, child care centers, and family child care providers to promote the development of children from infancy to age 8. These activities and experiences may be guided by curricula or established practices designed to improve children's development and competencies in one or more domains, including cognition, language, literacy, math, social-emotional development, and physical development.

The What Works Clearinghouse review in this topic area focuses first on early childhood education interventions (curricula and practices) designed for use in center-based settings with 3- to 5-year-old children who are not yet in kindergarten or children who are in preschool, with a primary focus on cognitive and language competencies associated with school readiness (language, literacy, math, and cognition). Interventions and studies with a primary focus on socio-emotional development and approaches to learning may be addressed in a subsequent phase of the review. The review also includes a focus on center-based early childhood education interventions designed to improve the school readiness skills of preschool children with developmental delays or diagnosed disabilities. These may be inclusive interventions used with all children or targeted interventions designed specifically for children with developmental delays or diagnosed disabilities.
