Community Science developed a community assessment report of Latino families in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties, Maryland in support of Centro Familia and Centro Nia’s grant application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services related to early childhood education and support. Centro Familiar’s confidence in Community Science’s ability to complete this assignment in three months was based on our exemplary needs assessment of Head Start-eligible children and families in 2003 (described later). To complete the report requested by Centro Familia and Centro Nia, Community Science reviewed existing reports and data about Latino families in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties, their needs for early childhood education, and culturally and linguistically appropriate early childhood education in Latino families.
