Outcomes, indicators, tools, and other resources are divided by category below. For easy reference, a PDF of the outcomes table is available via the download button here.

Educational Success
Investments in high-quality early childhood education yield a 7-10 percent per year return on investment based on increased school and career achievement as well as reduced social costs. At the same time, parents who complete a college degree double their incomes. A parent’s level of educational attainment is also a strong predictor of a child’s success.
Health and Well-Being
Physical, mental, and emotional health have a major impact on a family’s ability to thrive. Childhood trauma, for instance, has lasting health and social consequences. Research also shows that parents with health insurance are more likely to seek regular care for themselves and their children.
