“…9 The FE program also included additional nutritional improvements which aimed to increase calorie provision by 15% over the 60% of daily requirements already provided by HIs. We have documented elsewhere that under-nutrition did not appear to be a particular problem in this population at baseline and, perhaps not surprisingly therefore, we find no evidence of HIM+FE having any impact on any measure of nutritional status (Andrew, Attanasio, Bernal, Cordona, Krutikova, Heredia, Medina, Peña, Rubio-Codina, and Vera-Hernandez 2018).…”

Global access to preschool has increased dramatically yet preschool quality is often poor. We use a randomized controlled trial to evaluate two approaches to improving the quality of Colombian preschools. We find that the first, which was rolled out nationwide and provides additional resources for materials and new staff, did not benefit children's development and, unintentionally, led teachers to reduce their involvement in classroom activities. The second approach additionally trains teachers to improve their pedagogical methods. We find this addition offset the negative effects on teacher behavior, improved the quality of teaching and raised children's cognition, language and school readiness.
