Finno-Velasquez, Megan; Cahill, Betsy; Ullrich, Rebecca; Matthews, Hannah
ZERO TO THREE, v39 n1 p27-32 Sep 2018
Since 2017, immigration enforcement in the US has increased, and as a consequence, many more young children are vulnerable to being separated from their parents and are living with daily fear and stress of parental deportation. This article documents stories from interviews with early care service providers and immigrant parents in six states conducted by the Center for Law and Social Policy in 2017. It outlines concerns for children in the current immigration context and offers recommendations for classroom practice, family supports, and actions that early childhood educators can take when working with young children of immigrants and their families.
