It summarizes how DLL households rely more on parental care and report different satisfaction patterns. It also compares costs and parents’ ability to find desired program types, noting DLL families face higher average out-of-pocket expenses and more difficulty locating suitable options.","Office of English Language Acquisition  \nDual Language Learners in Early Care and Education  \nEarly care and education impact children’s transition to school, as well as their long-term social and cognitive growth (Belsky et al., 2007; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018) . 1 Access to quality early care and education is particularly important for dual language learners (DLLs), as these years represent an important window for exposure and initial development of both English and their home languages (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2017) .2 This fact sheet presents information about children under the age of 6 growing up speaking a language other than English at home. Disparities between DLL households and English language households in accessing high-quality, affordable, early care and education options are highlighted.3  \nEarly Care and Education Arrangement for Children by Language Spoken at Home in 2016  \nNational Household Average  \nEnglish Language Households  \nDLL Households  \n\n|  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Parental Care\u003Cbr>40% | Center-based Care 29%\u003Cbr>NHB\u003Cbr>10%\u003Cbr>Relative Home\u003Cbr>based Care\u003Cbr>19%\u003Cbr>| Multiple Arrangements 2% |\n|  |  |  |\n| Parental Care\u003Cbr>38% | Center-based Care 31%\u003Cbr>NHB\u003Cbr>11%\u003Cbr>Relative Home\u003Cbr>based Care\u003Cbr>18%\u003Cbr>| Multiple Arrangements 2% |\n|  |  |  |\n| Parental Care\u003Cbr>51% | Center-based Care 25%\u003Cbr>NHB\u003Cbr>4%\u003Cbr>Relative Homebased Care \u003Cbr>19% | Multiple Arrangements 1% |\n\n0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%  \nFigure note: NHB = Non-relative home-based care  \nDLL households were less likely than English language families to enroll in center-based early care and education (25%, compared to 31%) and more likely than English language families to rely on parental care only (51%, compared to 38%) .  \nDid Parents Feel That They Had Good Choices for Early Care and Education or Early Childhood Programs in 2016?  \nEnglish language families showed a higher level of satisfaction with the early care and education options available to them compared to the national average. By contrast, DLL families were equally likely to report that they were happy with their choices or that they did not know if there were satisfying options where they lived. Nearly half (43%) of the DLL families said they did not know how they felt about their early care and education options forchildren under 6. In comparison, only 26% of English language families gave this answer.  \nNational Household Average  \nEnglish Language Households  \nDLL Households  \n1 Sources: Belsky, J., Vandell, D.
