The findings presented in this policy brief are taken from a mixed-method study that compared beliefs about education and literacy practices among Latino caregivers who had their 4-year-old children enrolled in the Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Program (VPK) and parents who had not enrolled their children in early childhood programs at the time of the study (Martelo, 2013). A total of 125 surveys were collected from 74 caregivers with children enrolled in VPK and 51 without children enrolled in VPK. Twenty interviews were conducted: 10 with Hispanic parents with children enrolled in VPK and 10 without children enrolled in VPK. (author abstract)
