U.S. Early Childhood Education
        Fifty years ago, only 5% of American children aged three or four attended early education programs. Today, more than two-thirds of the children of that age go to nursery schools or daycare centers with educational programs. Experts say young children who have received this kind of education do better when they attend school. Children in these programs learn basic things including colors, numbers, common objects and letters. They also learn to cooperate with teachers and other children through singing and playing games. Many programs include activities to help children  learn about the world around them. After early education program, most American children attend kindergarten in public schools.
