CACF is holding a community briefing for the release of its newest report, Breaking Down Barriers: Immigrant Families and Early Childhood Education in New York City. This report focuses on Bangladeshi, Chinese, Dominican, Haitian, Korean and Russian communities of New York City. Important findings conclude that many of New York City's immigrant families are unable to take advantage of the benefits of early childhood education because of barriers preventing their access to these programs. Join us as we discuss this important issue with providers, advocates and policymakers.
