The research data comes from three public elementary schools near high-quality preschools in Taipei City and New Taipei City. Questionnaires received from 145 second-grade students and their parents from 211 samples, among them 140 are effective, the effective response rate was 66%. Main finding of the study includes, 1. Children’s family social economic status and family social capital from high-quality preschools are not different from ordinary preschools. However, parents in high-quality preschool interact with school more frequently. 2. The academic performance between children with different preschool education experience is not different. However, children with high-quality preschool experience are better in "individual adaptation". 3. Children’s family social economic status are correlated only with their academic achievement, however children’s family social capital are correlated with both their academic achievement and life adaptation. 4. Children’s school readiness is correlated with their educational achievement. Children’s school readiness is correlated with their family social economic status, social capital within the family, not with their preschool education experience. It seems that family factors are more importance than preschool education experience. 5. School readiness and mother education level predict children’s academic achievement; in the mean times, school readiness and parent-school interaction predict children’s life adaptation. It seems that school readiness is an important factor in predicting children’s education achievement.
