Source:http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-06-807
Date:2006
Organization:Government Accountability Office
Short Description:Questions have been raised about whether parents with limited English proficiency are having difficulty accessing child care and early education programs for their children.

Annotation:Questions have been raised about whether parents with limited English proficiency are having difficulty accessing child care and early education programs for their children. Research suggests that quality early care experiences can greatly improve the school readiness of young children. GAO was asked to provide information on (1) the participation of these children in programs funded through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and Head Start, (2) the challenges these families face in accessing programs, (3) assistance that selected state and local entities provide to them, and (4) actions taken by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure program access.
