As far as I know, there is no information on that. It's very rare for any fossilized material to tell us much about the behavior of the organism, and post-birth maternal care has not even been suggested, let alone confirmed, for most of the dinosaurs. The best we usually get are tracks of dinosaur herds that show both young and older individuals together (which doesn't really tell us much about how much the young were cared for). John Horner was lucky enough to find lots of fossil evidence of young-rearing in Maiasaurus, but that remains a fantastic exception to the rule.
Many of the early dinosaurs (like Herrerasaurus) are known from only small amounts of material, which really doesn't let us infer much about the details of how they lived.

The Herrerasaurus was one of the first dinosours around, was a good hunter and cared for it's young! The mother was very protective over her young as a matter of fact!
