The impact of quality components of the early childhood education environment on the school readiness of children from immigrant families
This article presents the results of a systematic review of 23 academic articles, mainly American, addressing the impact of quality components of the early childhood education environment on the school readiness of children from immigrant families. The results show that staff training, adult-child and peer-to-peer interaction, and the education program are the main quality components of the education environment that can support their learning. Another quality component is the context, which influences the quality of the education environment and school readiness. This literature review underscores the importance of language- and culturally sensitive practices for children’s school readiness.
