Informing Parents and Educators about the importance of preschool for English Language Learners: A Guideline
The importance of pre-kindergarten experience for English Language Learners is that it gives them a foundation for their kindergarten experience. Many Hispanic families are hesitant in putting their child in the care of someone who is not a family member, which then puts these children behind others who had an academic experience in pre-kindergarten. This not only brings the Hispanic children down academically but also fails to teach them about the social aspect of school. The purpose of this study is to give people involved with these children a guideline to help them understand the importance of pre-kindergarten education for English Language Learners. It will also offer strategies for teachers on how to communicate the importance of prekindergarten with this community.
