While the majority of children in Sweden attend preschool, children of immigrant background have lower enrollment rates. Limited research has explored why immigrant families do not attend preschool. This study helps to fill this void by exploring the perspectives of 10 skilled immigrant mothers who do not send their children to preschool. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 10 mothers (via a convenience sample), before a themed analysis was conducted. Findings suggest the skilled immigrant mothers had concerns about child safety, their child's language development, and developing the home culture. Findings are important for policymakers and administrators wanting to increase preschool attendance rates for children from immigrant backgrounds.
