Kids in the More at Four pre-kindergarten program appear to “improve language and literacy, math, general knowledge and social skills,” according to the latest evaluation of the MAF program conducted by the FPG Child Development Institute at UNC-Chapel Hill.

That’s all well and good, but what happens to these students when they enter 2nd grade or 5th grade? Do these improvements remain? The latest MAF evaluation cannot answer these important questions and that’s a problem.
