Note 1: This table shows the estimates of the coefficient for attending Reggio Approach infant-toddler centers from multiple methods. We compare people who attended both municipal infant-toddler centers and preschools (1,1) with people who only attended municipal preschools and no infant-toddler center (0,1). As in Section Column title indicates the corresponding control set and and model. None = within-Reggio Emilia OLS estimate with no control variables. BIC = within-Reggio Emilia OLS estimate with controls selected by Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and additional controls for male indicator and ITC attendance indicator. Full = within-Reggio Emilia OLS estimate with the full set of controls. PSM = within-Reggio Emilia propensity score matching estimation. KM = within-Reggio Emilia Epanechnikov kernel matching estimation. DidPm = difference-in-differences estimates of (Reggio (1,1) – Reggio (0,1)) – (Parma (1,1) – Parma (0,1)). KMDidPm = difference-in-differences kernel matching estimates of (Reggio (1,1) – Reggio (0,1)) – (Parma (1,1) – Parma (0,1)). KMPm = Epanechnikov kernel matching estimation between Reggio (1,1) and Parma (0,1). DidPv = difference-in-differences estimates of (Reggio (1,1) – Reggio (0,1)) – (Padova (1,1) – Padova (0,1)). KMDidPv = difference-in-differences kernel matching estimates of (Reggio (1,1) – Reggio (0,1)) – (Padova (1,1) – Padova (0,1)).

Note 2: Both unadjusted p-value and stepdown p-value are reported. ***, **, and * indicate significance of the coefficients at the 15%, 10%, and 5% levels respectively. Empty cells show that the estimation cannot be carried out for that outcome.
