Abstract: With increasing numbers of immigrant and refugee families settling outside the handful of states that have traditionally been home to the majority of newcomers, the children of immigrants now make up more than 10 percent of the young child population (ages 0 to 5) in 37 states plus the District of Columbia. Across the United States, about one-third (32 percent) of young children live in homes where a language other than English is spoken. Access to quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) is particularly important for these Dual Language Learners (DLLs) and for children from immigrant families, as such programs can help build language and literacy skills and expose the children and their families to American culture and norms.
