Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the pre-kindergarten experiences of kindergarten children affected a set of outcomes measuring kindergarten readiness and success. This was a causal comparative study that examined the results of 15 different measures. Data was collected in the beginning of the year, fall, and winter. There were no significant differences in the results. Research should continue to determine the effect of different preschool experiences on kindergarten success and readiness.
