Trostel’s Early Education Research Cited in Sanford News Article

A Sanford News article about an anonymous benefactor agreeing to match funds donated to the Child Care Services of York County during the next three months cites a study by Philip Trostel, a University of Maine economist. Trostel’s study, “Path to a Better Future: The Fiscal Payoff of Investment in Early Childhood Development in Maine,” found providing a quality preschool education for one child from a low-income family saves taxpayers about $99,200 over the course of the child’s life.
