The Importance of High-Quality Early Childhood Education for Children and the Economy
- Lisa A. Nelson
- Michelle Volpe-Kohler
Early childhood education (ECE) has received increased attention since the pandemic given the impact of closures on children and families. Among other ways, access to high-quality ECE can affect the economy by supporting families' participation in the economy and paving the way for children to reach their full potential.
The views expressed in this report are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Early childhood education (ECE) can affect the economy in a variety of ways; for example, by allowing more parents of young children to participate in the labor force. It also can help prepare young children for future success in school, potentially impacting their longer-term educational trajectories and, by extension, the future US workforce. ECE, which refers to a range of programming for children prior to reaching school age (five years old), has received increased attention since the pandemic given the impact of closures—some temporary, some permanent—on children and families.
The state of childcare in the US is complex. The challenges for families can include affordability, accessibility, and quality. One specific issue that ECE programs face is maintaining a stable workforce. Recent research by the Cleveland Fed finds that “turnover among US childcare workers was about 65 percent higher than turnover in the median occupation in 2022, which creates challenges for the broader workforce.” In addition, the study finds that “currently, the number of childcare workers remains below prepandemic levels.” To help shed light on the importance of ECE and the childcare landscape in the Cleveland Fed’s district (Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and West Virginia), we talked to Jamie Remp . She’s a Cleveland Fed Community Advisory Council member and executive director of King's Daughters Childcare Center in West Virginia, and she shares below some of her experiences with running a childcare center.
Why is ECE important to the community that you serve and, more broadly, in the US?
Jamie: Research shows that the economy reaps the rewards when communities have quality ECE. Children who attended high-quality ECE programs are less likely to require remedial education or special services later, saving taxpayer dollars. Access to reliable childcare allows parents, particularly mothers, to participate in the workforce, boosting the economy. Early childhood programs encourage community engagement and parent support networks and can lead to stronger, more resilient communities.
In West Virginia, where I am based, 41 percent of children under six years old do not have access to childcare . So it’s a struggle to maintain access as well as high-quality standards.
How did the pandemic affect you or the services your organization provides?
Jamie: Pre-pandemic, ECE programs faced challenges such as finding quality teachers who would work for lower wages, high operating costs to meet licensing requirements, and a never-ending list of families in need of childcare. When the pandemic hit, thousands of programs had to close their doors; some closures were temporary, but others were permanent. Families were left scrambling to find alternate childcare options and businesses were struggling with employees unable to work.
Since the pandemic, our program has experienced much longer gaps in filling positions. The average turnaround time to hire one qualified staff member is almost six months. Hiring new staff requires background checks and training before a teacher can be placed in a classroom. Delays in hiring lead to the inability to enroll students—and even classroom closures—until teachers can be hired and trained.
In my experience, childcare staff often do the job of multiple people to keep their programs running. For instance, as executive director of a childcare program, I oversee the finances, grant-writing and fundraising, project management, and maintenance of the center, and often I am filling in the gaps where we are short on staff. The teachers at our center not only create and follow lesson plans for the children, but they also clean their classrooms and toys; do laundry (blanket, sheets, and towels); feed the children breakfast, lunch, and snacks; monitor naptime; and write up a daily newsletter for each child to communicate with parents.
What is high-quality ECE and why do you think it has an impact on children and your local economy?
Jamie: High-quality ECE programs have qualified and experienced teachers, lower student-teacher ratios, a stimulating learning environment, and a lot of family engagement and communication. During the crucial years from birth to age five, these programs can heavily impact the economic, health, and social outcomes for both individuals and society.
The findings of a study carried out by Professor James J. Heckman indicate that every dollar invested in high-quality, birth-to-five early childhood programs can deliver a 13 percent return on investment. This figure represents the highest rate of economic return of any workforce development initiative. The study analyzed several life outcomes throughout participants’ childhood and adulthood, including income, IQ, schooling, health, crime, and mothers’ incomes after returning to work through access to childcare.
Other research points to enhanced cognitive development in kids such as better memory and improved problem-solving abilities, as well as stronger social and emotional skills such as conflict resolution and empathy. High-quality childcare programs can also improve school readiness and narrow achievement gaps to the benefit of children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The bottom line
The benefits of high-quality ECE for children and families can be wide-ranging, from stronger problem-solving skills in kids to helping to build more resilient communities. Access to high-quality ECE can support families’ participation in the economy and can pave the way for children to reach their full potential, contributing to a stronger economy for everyone.

Early Childhood Education
Early childhood in general combines the first eight years of an individual’s life. It has been defined as the period between 0 and 8 years of age where tremendous growth and development take place. It is at this stage that the most salient parts and organs develop. The brain develops swiftly, almost to the fullest. It is also at this stage where walking and talking are established. Self esteem and vision to the world is developed and learnt at this point in life. The important activities of growth and developments that take place during this period show the importance of early childhood education in a person’s life. The significance of early childhood education is to teach younger children the essential things that they need to know early, so they remember them even when they become adults. The young age is a time for development and growth. As the child grows, he also learns (Grotewell 2008). Child development is the foundation of human development. It is associated with living with decorum and achieving the worth of life at an early stage. The initial years of life are significant to the development of an individual’s social behavior, their intellectual behaviors and personality. A study on brain development attests to the significance of considerable mental, physical and social abilities. Lack of establishment of these fundamental capabilities in early life, especially if there is any form of mental damage adversely affects the learning potential. Early childhood education entirely focuses on children learning through play. The education offered during this year’s plays a pivotal role in the proper development and growth of a person. The experiences and relationships a child has during this period, together with nutritional standards adversely affect their mental growth. Proper early childhood education helps the brain to grow in a healthy manner. On the contrary, improper care in terms of education and study without play may have a tremendous effect in the brain. The brain is considered the most vital organ during the child’s life. Therefore, the learning and experiences of the child during childhood can be of importance in later years of life. Another importance in childhood education is habits and characters are learnt during this period. This habits and characters remain unchanged even when the child becomes an adult. During this period, education on health that is adopted during this period and this helps the child to develop proper habits and attitudes. The school plays a decisive role in instilling these healthy habits in a person’s hence whatever happens in school regarding health has a direct effect on the community. Whatever happens in the community has a direct effect in school. Many defects that involve hearing, nutrition and sight, can be prevented by adopting healthy behavior developed through health education. Life is dispossessed of its usefulness, joys and pleasure, when healthy lifestyles are not adopted. Early childhood education has shown some significant success in child motivation and learning strength. Parents do not have to wait until their children attain school age or until they become adults before they can take them to school. The first eight years of in children’s life are spent realizing their own personality or identity. At this stage, they learn to associate themselves with others around them and gain a sense of self. It has been rightly said that the way a fig is bent, a tree is inclined. The importance of early childhood education cannot be ignored. It is the key to a great foundation for an individual’s educational success. The patterns they learn and adopt become highly useful in their later years. (Cochran 2007) Many researchers agree that play is paramount during early childhood education. It should be focused on teaching a child the world around them through playing. Education through playing plays a significant role in developing moral ethics, values and social skills of the child. Functional play assists the child to build up motor and practical skills. They are done with toys and objects plated outdoors. Playing with sand and water is beneficial in preschool children and makes up about 50% of their play. Constructive play is common among boys, and it is done through building or creating something. Letting children play and doing the things they want improves their individuality and decision-making. All this types of play encourage creativity, problem solving, thinking, and reasoning skills. Pretend play helps children express themselves in their lives. It also helps them develop language skills, excellent imagination skills, and good emotions as they interact with others. A playground has been found to contain harmful objects but it can help develop leaning skills of the children, as it is often turned into a learning experience. The influence of parental opinions on a child is profound and long lasting. Parents are the primary caretakers, and children adopt their values, beliefs and behaviors long before those of anyone else. They look at their parents as role models and authority figures. Anything that their parents do culminates itself in the children’s behavior. Specifically, parents have a terrific power on a child’s insight of education. Since proper education plays such a vital role in a child’s growth and development, it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that a children approach their educational knowledge in an optimistic and reasonable manner. If a child had difficulty in school, it is likely that their attitudes about teachers and school in general are unenthusiastic. A depressing attitude about education creates unconstructive performance in the classroom and beyond. A child with a pessimistic attitude about education will have trouble finishing not only school-related errands and responsibilities, but also job-related tasks and duties. The teacher or employer carries responsibility is often lifted from the child’s shoulders, when they fail to perform (Blatchfor 2009). Parental attitudes have an effect on the child. If the parents constantly criticize educational matters, the child assumes the same belief about education. Unconstructive attitudes influence the child even after official education is completed. Remaining optimistic all through about educational matters, however hard they may be improves and enhances your child’s educational experiences. Parent’s opinions considerably matter a lot in the development of a child. Educating children, when they are still young, helps them to handle the abrupt step up on the things they will learn when they begin school. It will also set them on a senior level of learning from start to become intelligent beings. Social relationships are also imperative factors in this, and investing your time in the child’s activities assists them to learn better and faster in all aspects. Socializing with their colleagues is also crucial because it will further help them develop language skills and behavioral norms of social interaction, which will make them more certain and gregarious when they are adults (Anning 2008). The most essential object to remember is not to overwork your child, or make the learning seem to them like it is more of work than fun, but to avoid working them too much. Parents should be cautious not to overlook the boundaries with which they teach their children. There are wide varieties of products available that can educate a child and still entertain them. In conclusion, childhood education is the most salient attribute parents are supposed to give to their children so that they grow into intelligent adults.

Background of the Study on Role of Nutrition in Early Childhood Development
Ai generator, role of nutrition in early childhood development.
Introduction Nutrition plays a crucial role in early childhood development. This study examines how dietary factors influence cognitive and physical growth in young children.
Contextual Framework Historically, proper nutrition has been linked to improved health outcomes. Early childhood is a critical period for growth and development, where nutritional intake can have long-lasting effects. Theories of developmental psychology and nutrition science underpin this study.
Literature Review Existing research indicates that adequate nutrition is essential for brain development, immune function, and overall health in children. Malnutrition and poor dietary habits are associated with developmental delays and health issues. However, there is a need for more research on the specific dietary components that most significantly impact development.
Rationale Understanding the role of nutrition in early childhood is vital for parents, caregivers, and policymakers. This study aims to fill knowledge gaps by identifying key nutritional factors that support optimal growth and development.
Objectives and Research Questions
- To analyze the impact of specific nutrients on cognitive and physical development in children.
- What dietary patterns are most beneficial during early childhood?
- How can caregivers ensure children receive adequate nutrition?
Conclusion The background underscores the importance of studying nutrition in early childhood development. By providing actionable insights and evidence-based recommendations, the research aims to improve health outcomes and support effective nutritional practices for young children.

There is considerable evidence among those who work with child development and early education that 4-year-olds gain from being in a high-quality, early learning setting (e.g., Ramey & Ramey, Citation 2004).In fact, the years from birth to age 5 are viewed as a critical period for developing the foundations for thinking, behaving, and emotional well-being.
found that early years practitioners have limited political voices and tend to be situated as lower-status workers. Other studies on early childhood leadership (Muijs et al., 2004; Rodd, 2013) demonstrated that many early years professionals show little awareness of their leadership role in early childhood practices.
