By Michael Tomsic

People who participate in a high quality preschool program are far more likely to graduate from college and have jobs. That’s according to the latest data from a UNC study that’s spanned more than three decades. The study followed more than 100 participants from infancy into their 30s. It was done through the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at UNC. Frances Campbell is a senior scientist there and the lead author of the study.
