Abstract
- This study is an ethnographic case study that focuses on three family members from Mexican migrant farmworker households (a father, a grandmother, and mother), their discussions around the topic of educating their children, and their engagement in the seasonal early childcare programs that serve farmworker children. This study takes a sociocultural perspective to examine parental lessons in the home, views of institutionalized education, and the role of beliefs, identity, and life experience that contribute to the early years of a child's education. This study address gaps in the research related to migrant farmworker families with young children in early childhood education programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
