        %X There has been minimal research on the pre-school enrollment of immigrant children. Using
1990 U.S. Census data, this paper investigates pre-school enrollment of child immigrants,
those who immigrated as children and the U.S.-born children of immigrants. The analysis is
conducted using probit analysis. Pre-school enrollment is found to vary systematically with
parental characteristics (income and education), immigrant generation, number of siblings,
mother’s labor supply and country of origin. Among the foreign-born, differences in preschool
enrollment are analyzed by country of origin. Among the U.S.-born children of
immigrants pre-school enrollment is greatest among those with both parents foreign born.
