Synopsis:

The rich have always valued early education, and for the past forty years, millions of poor kids have had Head Start. Now, more and more middle-class parents have realized that a good preschool is the smartest investment they can make in their children's future in a competitive world. As "The Sandbox Investment" shows, their needs are key to the growing call for universal preschool.
