What if you could study all the studies? That’s exactly what a meta-analysis does—it combines multiple research studies to find clear, reliable conclusions!
A new meta-analysis of 38 studies involving 48,000 PreK to 2nd-grade children reveals that, on average, Waterford Early Learning programs help children advance more than a year beyond expected progress in reading and math.
Who benefits? The study confirms consistent growth across demographics, including multilingual learners, children from families experiencing poverty, learners receiving special education services
Waterford programs meet the high standards of evidence set by the ESSA evidence model, demonstrating strong, research-backed results across multiple levels of study.
Waterford helps close opportunity gaps and gives young learners the foundation they need for a bright future. View the full meta-analysis: view-su2.highspot.com/viewer/ca1d01226d81444936b8363de4a22ae1?iid=67b4ac1362f8790762f3310b#1
