Identity’s Report on Early Care and Education Needs
Recently Identity, Inc. released a report, “EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT-Among Latino Families in Montgomery County, Maryland.” In it Identity hoped through the assessment, they could better understand two issues:

1. the reasons Latino parents do, or do not, enroll their children in formal early care programs;
2. how Latino children who are not enrolled in formal care settings are being cared for.

The report contains survey findings of 130 local families and provided recommendations on them.
