Abstract
The benefits of participating in high-quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) have been recognized by people for many years; and the need for high-quality ECE has never been greater. In this case study, we focus on whether ECE can improve learning speed in five domains: social, emotional, communication, cognition, and physical development. The initial ages for each of these five domains, in months since birth, are collected and compared with that of common children as described in Nipissing District Developmental Screen (NDDS). We find that children in the ECE program learned faster with a p -value no >0.0078. In addition, students in an ECE program are labeled by their ages at enrollment as Cohort 1 (infant) and Cohort 2 (toddler), and we conduct the following statistical tests on their difference: Welch's t -test, Hoteling's T 2 -test, and survival analysis. We find that the average initial observation age of Cohort 1 is 4.82 months earlier than that of Cohort 2 with a p -value no >0.009. We are convinced that ECE programs could advance students' learning in all five domains.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
