*Pre-K and Latinos: The Foundation for America's Future
*

The Latino population in the United States is growing at a rapid pace, 
and the proportion of our nation’s under-five year olds who are Latino 
is increasing even faster. Many of these children lack access to the 
high-quality pre-kindergarten experiences that promote academic 
achievement and future success.

By providing Latino children with culturally and linguistically 
appropriate services in high-quality, pre-k-for-all programs, educators 
and policymakers can help close the achievement gap and make a major 
contribution to realizing this growing population’s remarkable potential.
