Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), University of Findlay, Education.
Preschool as an early intervention for children of low-income has been shown to better prepare them for the rigor of today’s kindergarten classroom. However, research suggests families of low-income children are less likely to enroll in preschool. This qualitative study examined the reasons why parents of low-income were not enrolling their children in a public preschool program in one school district. Data were collected through semi-structured, individual, one-to-one interviews with eight parents and seven teachers. Overall, this study found: parents were unaware of the opportunity, the half-day schedule was a challenge, some parents wanted to teach their children, parents may be deterred by negative preschool experience with a sibling, and parents have negative perceptions about the district.
