Description
The influence of early childhood programs on the entire education community cannot be overstated. These programs have highlighted the important role that successful learning experiences at home and experiences in high-quality early childhood programs play in future academic success (Wesley & Buysse, 2003). Yet, many teachers assume that every child has the same or similar experiences prior to beginning school, thus creating a mindset in which students are considered either ready for school or deficient in some critical area of social, emotional, cognitive, or physical development. According to Carol Korn-Bursztyn (2004), Early childhood education has traditionally privileged the invisible developmental line, the trajectory through time and space that children are assumed to travel. In this vein, optimal development assumes a coherence and continuity between different contexts, especially home and school. Such coherence is viewed as optimal to the well-being of children and especially indispensable to long-term academic achievement. (p. 157)
