概要	This study aims to understand the impact of kindergarten establishment type on the returns to preschool education in Korea. Using data on the cognitive and noncognitive ability test scores from Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC), we find that there is no statistically significant difference in terms of the quality of education between private and public kindergartens in the 7 major cities in Korea. On the other hand, the results from the sample of small and medium sized cities show that a child who attends a public institution for preschool education is expected to experience a greater increase in both cognitive and noncognitive test scores than an observationally-similar child attending a private institution. The result offers policy implications in regards to the degree of competition in the kindergarten market in that the average quality of education services provided by private kindergartens located in small and medium sized cities is inferior to that of public institutions.
