Engaging Dual Language Learner Families in Their Children’s Early Education.

Using data from the First 5 California DLL Pilot Study, this brief presents a snapshot of the family engagement strategies used in early learning and care programs serving infant, toddler, and preschool-age DLLs across the state. We explore family engagement from three vantage points: the families of DLLs (represented by a parent respondent); the directors of their early learning and care programs, to set the stage for the family findings; and DLLs’ teachers, whose complementary perspective on many of the topics discussed is reflected.
