4 Kids children were the majority of those studied in a major multi-year project by independent researchers from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the UCLID Center of the University of Pittsburgh. The study found that the quality early education provided by 4 Kids dramatically improved the children's preparation for success in school and in life. Among the results:

	4 Kids "graduates" are far less likely to repeat grades, or to need special education services, once they're in school.
	Even children who start out far behind their peers can catch up by the time they start school.
	The behaviors of enrolled children improve significantly.
	The children learn a range of skills and attitudes that will provide the foundations for success in school, in the workforce...and in life.

The research results prove that children at 4 Kids are starting strong and headed for success. Learn more about these dramatic results by reading the executive summary of the research report (600Kb PDF file).
