Wishing you a joyous holiday season y un próspero Año Nuevo

As you prepare to wrap up 2019, take a look at some of our highlights from this year.

• Our first brief of 2019, How State-level Child Care Development Fund Policies May Shape Access and Utilization among Hispanic Families, examined how policy contexts in 13 states that are home to over 80 percent of the country’s low-income Hispanic children may shape their families’ access to and use of child care subsidies. This remains one of our most popular briefs of the year.
  • Since its publication, we have continued to dig deeper into the topic:
    • How State Policies Might Affect Hispanic Families’ Access to and Use of Child Care and Development Fund Subsidies featured a series of graphics illustrating a selection of findings from the first brief.
    • How States with Large Hispanic Populations are Using or Plan to Use Additional Federal Funding for Child Care looked further at how the 13 states have spent or plan to spend additional Child Care and Development Fund funds appropriated in 2018.
• This year, major news outlets including The New York Times and NBC News have covered our work on Hispanic fertility rates and the economic lives of Hispanic families.
• Our most-viewed 2019 release, The Early Home Environment of Latino Children: A Research Synthesis, has also become one of our most popular publications to date.
• Although it wasn’t published this year, our 2018 brief on applying child development research to immigration policy has also remained one of our top publications.
• Finally, in case you weren’t able to attend our recent webinars on data visualization or exploring career trajectories, the recordings and slides are available on our website!
