Publicly funded early childhood services can support refugee families by helping children build a strong foundation and families thrive as they resettle in a new country. However, families who are refugees or immigrants may be less likely to enroll their children in early childhood services compared with other eligible families. This guide aims to familiarize refugee service providers with early childhood services accessible to families who are refugees, common barriers to participation, and strategies to enhance family access. This content was developed by the Urban Institute in collaboration with Switchboard.
