Description
Cultural values are inherent to educational processes. When young children go to school family and societal values may be either reinforced or challenged as children are socialized. As the ethnicities and cultural backgrounds of students and teachers vary, so do their values. With a rapidly changing student population, ever more diverse, this is a time for early childhood settings to become more responsive to all children's needs while honoring their cultures. As the number of Latino immigrants increases steadily and rapidly across the United States, early childhood educators need to learn about Latino schooling experiences and expectations to better serve this growing population. Around 20% of all children born in the United States are bilingual and growing up in Latino households. According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics (2006), the proportion of Latino children in the United States has increased faster than that of any other racial and ethnic group, growing from 9% of the child population in 1980 to 19% in 2003. This percentage continues to increase.
