Abstract	Project Early Push was a prekindergarten program designed to provide disadvantaged children with experiences vital to later educational success. Students' ages ranged between 3 years 9 months and 4 years 9 months at the start of the program; students came from a target area in Buffalo. Specific goals of the program were to foster a healthy self-concept, improved perceptual, discriminatory, labeling, and concept-building abilities, understanding of the environment, self-expression, motor coordination, verbal communication, auditory discrimination and appreciation, literary appreciation, parent involvement, and improved teacher awareness of the problems of disadvantaged children. Innovative aspects of the project included the Art Program designed to encourage self-expression. Continuous in-service training was provided for teachers and teacher-aides. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test was used to measure achievement. Parent involvement was also found to enhance improvement. Tables illustrative of test data are included. (KG)
