Early Education Programs and Children of Immigrants: Learning Each Other's Language (Research Report)
Hannah Matthews, Danielle Ewen

Children from immigrant families are the fastest growing group of children in the United States. High-quality child care and early education opportunities will be critical to these children’s success in school and in life.
