Early intervention in quality education is a way to equalize opportunities, a premise assumed
by several countries that has increased interest in preschool education, which is now a relevant area
of public policy. However, the performance of preschool education centers has received relatively
scarce research attention. Consistent with the above, there are no studies quantifying the level of
effectiveness with which these centers operate. This study examines the problem and aims to evaluate
the performance of preschool education centers that serve children from lower socioeconomic families
in Chile. For this, a centralized DEA Assurance Region model is proposed, which, in addition to
avoiding the main criticisms received by the traditional Benefit of Doubt models, shows important
differences in the results of efficacy and weights of the composite indicators. In addition, a second
stage analysis is carried out using decision trees to identify variables that determine the composition
of homogeneous preschool groups according to their effectiveness. The target population evaluated
is kindergartens serving families with low socioeconomic status in urban and rural areas in Chile,
and results reveal the importance of three structural factors: family income, kindergarten size, and
location. [-]
