Description: 

This report examines why children of immigrants are less likely to participate in early education programs despite the value of these programs in enhancing school readiness and integration. It analyzes participation by age and type of child care arrangements, preschool/kindergarten enrollment, and socio-demographic factors affecting participation, and concludes with policy recommendations for improving enrollment at the state and local levels.
