There is scarce information on child care strategies among Hispanics in the United States. The purpose of this pilot study was to identify and understand child care practices in a sample of forty-five Mexican-American working mothers living in northern California by means of conducting six focus groups. Results included data on child care selection, problems, and preferences. Results also expose myths based on ethnic stereotyping that have obscured the understanding of this issue. Suggestions for further research are discussed as well as child care policy considerations.
