Reexamining the Carolina abecedarian project using an antiracist perspective: Implications for early care and education research

This review from the Brady Education Foundation's staff examines research on early childhood efforts and finds that the research provides strong evidence concerning the effects of early care and education (ECE); a review using antiracist framework reveals limitations not yet widely considered; the color-blind approach and deficit model limit ability to inform practice and policy; the study's strengths and weaknesses have implications for future ECE research; and embracing race and strength-based perspectives can further developmental science.
