The Use of Settings in a Heterogeneous Preschool
Featherstone, Helen
Young Children, 29, 3, 147-54, Mar 74
Two preschool educational settings were studied to learn whether children with different economic and ethnic backgrounds use a classroom in different ways. The observations described suggest that the optimum preschool either for low-income children or for a heterogeneous group is one that consistently offers a spectrum of structures, and freedom for children to choose among them.
