Abstract

First and second-generation immigrant families of young children (birth-5) in the United States face many potential challenges or obstacles that may be mitigated with the right combination of supports from various stakeholders in their local communities. As part of a larger analysis, this paper looks at perceptions and recommendations among a range of professionals (n = 76) working directly with families in a mid-Atlantic urban community. We also looked at the extent to which stakeholder ratings or attitudes may correlate with demographic factors. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.
