This article provides a written anthology - references and a summary of written reports and papers that throw light on what effects participation in early education (childcare) has on student subsequent academic performance at school.

Unfortunately for those who claim without looking at the evidence that early childhood education substantiallly or on its own raises achievement levels this does not appear to be the case as reflected in student actual performance on a range of tests.  The main ones reviewed here are International PISA, TIMSS and PIRLS Results and Australia’s NAPLAN.
