Abstract	This study provides estimates for the impact of centre-based care participation during pre-kindergarten on Latino children's academic readiness skills at kindergarten-entry. Using the ECLS-K:2011 dataset, findings indicate that Latino children who participated in centre-based care during their pre-kindergarten year had significantly higher English oral language (ES = 0.112, p < 0.05), reading (ES = 0.151, p < 0.001), and math scores (ES = 0.117, p < 0.05) than their peers who did not participate in such programmes. Additionally, children from lower SES homes especially benefitted in terms of oral language skills from participating in centre-based care. These results suggest that efforts should be made to increase the participation of Latino children in centre-based preschool, which can play a role in increasing their academic readiness skills.
