澳大利亚约四分之一的儿童在入学时被认定为"发展脆弱"，缺乏自我调节、语言和社交技能1。研究人员设计的一项密集型高质量早期教育干预计划显示，这类儿童的发展水平可以得到显著改善1。
该干预计划要求儿童每周参与五天，每天五小时，为期三年，无需家庭支付费用1。一年的参与后，儿童的韧性和自我调节能力平均提高11.6分，语言发展提高7.2分，智商提高4.6分1。2022年的随机对照试验中，72名参与计划的儿童与73名对照组儿童对比，表现出明显的认知和社交情感优势1。
该计划目前在维多利亚州和昆士兰州的三个地点运营，共有108名儿童参与1。
Approximately one quarter of Australian children are identified as "developmentally vulnerable" when they begin school, lacking adequate self-regulation, language, and social skills.1 Researchers have developed an intensive early education intervention program designed to address these developmental gaps in at-risk children.
The program operates five days per week for five hours daily over a three-year period and is provided to families at no cost.1 After one year of participation, children showed substantial improvements: resilience and self-regulation abilities increased by an average of 11.6 points, language development improved by 7.2 points, and IQ gains reached 4.6 points.1 A randomized controlled trial involving 72 participating children compared against 73 control group children demonstrated clear cognitive and social-emotional advantages for program participants.1
The intervention is currently operating at three locations across Victoria and Queensland through childcare centers in those states.1 The initiative represents a targeted approach to supporting vulnerable children in their early development before formal schooling begins.
