Such studies emphasize family and child deficits. Addressing this gap, we conducted qualitative interviews before and at the end of kindergarten with 12 inner-city, low-income, African-American mothers of Head Start preschoolers. During both periods, mothers assessed children's readiness skills, and provided home-based support. At the end of kindergarten, despite challenges, children's transitions were overwhelmingly positive. Our findings suggest how preschools and schools can promote children's successful transitions, including families' home-based strategies. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Poverty is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
