Author Linda Espinosa has seen the consequences of inadequate training, misguided practices, neglect, misunderstanding, and even outright bigotry on the life forces of bright, curious, and highly verbal children who happen to have been born into poverty. Their eagerness to learn and to participate in a social community can be muted before they ever begin formal schooling. However, well-crafted early education programs can successfully partner with families who speak little English and joyfully educate young children and prepare them for the rigors of formal academic instruction.
