Examined relationships between classroom quality and child outcomes among 145 Head Start children from home environments ranging from poor quality to more stimulating environments. Found that children in higher quality Head Start classrooms performed better on measures of achievement and preacademic skills than children in lower quality classrooms, regardless of the quality of their home environment.
