Abstract
Early childhood education has been shown to have long-term benefits on education, earnings, and social outcomes. The Head Start program is a free pre-school program that serves low-income children in the United States. I take advantage of sibling fixed effects to explore the effectiveness of the program using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Initially, I find positive effects on wealth accumulation for Black Head Start participants. After using a fixed effects reweighting method to address concerns of external validity, I do not find any significant benefits of the Head Start program.
