“A study released by the School of Community Health Sciences and partners at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas suggests that a full-day kindergarten program produces better academic results as well as longer, healthier lives for participating students. The findings suggest that many students who took part in a full-day kindergarten program go on to attain higher levels of education throughout their lives compared to those who do not. People with more education typically follow healthier dieting tips, which includes exercising, eating healthier and not participating in activities such as smoking. As a result, they have a decreased risk of obesity, cancer, heart disease, and as such, a longer life expectancy.”(more)
