From Evidence to Opportunity: Montessori Pre-K Associated With Stronger Kindergarten Outcomes

If we want meaningful policy change, we need researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to be in dialogue with each other. This is especially relevant today for public Montessori, after the latest – and long-awaited! – national randomized study of children in public Montessori preschools found the Montessori programs delivered better outcomes at sharply lower costs compared to traditional preschool. The study (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas...) focused specifically on end-of-Kindergarten outcomes, revealing results that stand in sharp contrast to the typical fade-out effect, where benefits from preschool are evident at program completion but largely vanish by the end of kindergarten. How can these findings help shape public policies and perceptions around Montessori? What are the potential policy implications of Montessori’s lower cost over three years? And how can effective policy help bridge the gap between research and practice? Watch this engaging conversation co-hosted by Trust for Learning and the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS), where a team of researchers, practitioners and policy experts dig into the policy implications of these new findings and discuss the challenges that stand in the way of fully implemented public Montessori programs and what it will take to overcome them.
