Hispanic Students Benefit Most From Prekindergarten Programs, Speaker Says

Hispanic parents who want their preschoolers to learn English faster and do better in kindergarten should enroll their children in prekindergarten programs, said William T. Gormley Jr., professor of government and public policy at Georgetown University.

Gormley also is co-director of the Center for Research on Children in the U.S. He spoke Friday at the University of Arkansas regarding research on students in state-funded Oklahoma prekindergarten programs. Gormley in 2003 and 2006 studied programs in Tulsa, Okla., public schools.”*
