Abstract

African American preschoolers living in rural areas are potentially at greater risk for entering schools less well prepared than their white counterparts. This article examines the importance of family involvement and engagement and dimensions of cultural competence needed to work with African American rural families to develop culturally responsive strategies for both home and early education school environments. Recommendations for rural service providers to improve African American preschooler learning outcomes also are shared.
