I just wrote an entire Argumentative Research paper for school talking about the long term (and short term) benefits of high quality early childhood education. I used a lot of information from the site you listed as well as the following sites:

http://www.highscope.org/content.asp?contentid=219
http://nieer.org/
http://ecrp.uiuc.edu/v4n1/marcon.html
http://aysps.gsu.edu/publications/20...hoodReport.pdf
http://www.waisman.wisc.edu/cls/cbaexecsum4.html
http://www.fpg.unc.edu/~abc/

ALL of which give clear long term benefits to high quality early childhood education. I am sure there are alot of counter arguments out there but I, for one, am inclined to buy into the benefits; both short and long term.
