This study analyzes the effect of early childhood education on academic performance in Indonesia. We use ordinary least square method to estimate the effect of kindergarten education (TK) on Indonesian language and mathematics score in primary and secondary school. We use the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 to obtain a sample data of 1,013 individuals to estimate the effect of kindergarten education.
