This study examines the effects of pre-primary education (PPE) in Bangladesh using data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Early Years Preschool Program (EYPP) involving about 1,800 children. Employing a causal forest approach, it estimates heterogeneous treatment effects across child and family backgrounds. Results show that children from poorer households and with fewer home learning opportunities benefited more across literacy, numeracy, social-emotional, and motor domains. The largest gains were found among children with mid- to low-level baseline skills, suggesting that quality preschool can reduce early developmental inequalities in low- and middle-income contexts.
