Study released on professor’s decade of childcare research

“Latino children are disproportionately affected by poverty, yet before the center (National Research Center on Hispanic Children and Families) was founded, there wasn’t much information about what challenges Latino families face with access to child care, We’ve aimed to better understand the landscape for low-income Hispanic families and find the most effective ways to connect this group with accessible and affordable child care and education.”
