"Reaching All Children? Understanding Early Care and Education Participation Among Immigrant Families" is available from the Center for Law and Social Policy.

Young children from immigrant families are less likely than children of parents born in the United States to be enrolled in early-childhood education and other nonparental child-care arrangements, a report by the Washington-based Center for Law and Social Policy says.

Poverty, nontraditional work schedules for parents, and parents’ limited education are a few of the reasons such children are not participating in center-based programs, it says.
