Immigrant Children and Families [WLO: 1] [CLO: 4]

Supporting the various backgrounds, personalities, strengths, values, and experiences of the families and children we work with is one of the most important responsibilities as early childhood professionals. One of the diverse backgrounds that you will likely encounter in our work is with immigrant children and their families.

Remember, immigrant children can include

  • Recently arrived newcomer students
  • Refugees
  • Students with interrupted/limited formal education
  • Unaccompanied minors who came to the country without their parents
  • Children of migrant farmworkers
  • Children who are undocumented
  • Children who have been separated from parents/family members at the border
  • Immigrants with Temporary Protected StatusLinks to an external site.
  • DREAMers (young people eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, or DACALinks to an external site.) (Colorín Colorado, 2018, p. 6)

In your initial post,
