Who Is the American Child Today?
The historical image of the child as white, middle-class, and from a nuclear family with two working parents does not represent the American population at large today (Kids Count, 2011). This is especially important because white female teachers continue to be overrepresented as compared with the changing populations of the classrooms in which they teach (Frankenberg, 2009; Han, West-Olatunji, & Thomas, 2010; Loewus, 2017). Consequently many children come to care or preschool without the opportunity to interact with adults who look like them and perhaps share common experiential knowledge about culture, language, and sociocultural tradition
