HDFS Professors Research Education Workforce Serving Hispanic Kids

Dr. Danielle Crosby and Christina Stephens


We find that early childhood teachers and caregivers in high-Hispanic-serving settings were more likely than those in low-Hispanic-serving settings to possess characteristics that could facilitate high-quality ECE experiences, including:

  1. greater representation of Hispanic ethnicity, bilingual skills, and personal experiences of immigration;
  2. higher rates of early childhood credentialing;
  3. higher receipt of mentored professional development; and
  4. higher rates of working in a publicly funded ECE setting.
