Listening to language and music at an early age helps babies develop their language and social skills. 

Professor Edward Melhuish and colleagues from the University of London found that the 10-year-olds who had attended high-quality preschools scored 27% higher in math skills, and performed better in other subjects than their peers who had attended a low-quality preschool or none.

They estimated that for each group of 4-year-olds that complete a year of preschool, there are about 13,800 fewer children retained in school, 62,500 fewer years spent in special education, 10,000 additional high school graduates, and 7,300 fewer juvenile arrests.”
