Los Niños Aprenden En Casa: Valuing and Connecting Home Cultural Knowledge With an Early Childhood Program

This article presents the findings from a five‐day parent Institute where parents from a bilingual community were taught how children learn, followed by an activity with the children and teachers. Parents were also asked to reflect on what they had learned. Through this Institute, parents realized the importance of teachable moments in the home and the teachers learnt to appreciate the strengths of the different families.
