📖 What We’re Reading: 2026 National Latino Family Report

This week we're sharing the 2026 National Latino Family Report from our partners at Puertas/Opening Doors (AP-OD).

The fifth annual report shares insights from 1,300 Latino parents and primary caregivers of young children, exploring the experiences, priorities, and aspirations of Latino families across the country. This year’s findings highlight key concerns—including rising costs of living, affordable child care, housing, health care, immigration, and child well-being—while also capturing families’ hopes for a stronger future.

We’re proud to share this important work from Abriendo Puertas, whose commitment to listening to and elevating family voices aligns closely with our own work at the Brazelton Touchpoints Center.
