To implement culturally responsive early education that is developmentally appropriate for Latino children, it is important to look at values that permeate education in Latin America. Therefore, the author draws on ethnographic data (interviews, observations, artifacts, and field notes) from early childhood centers and schools in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina as she reviews research and outlines values and perspectives that pervade such practices, hoping to shed light on the educational process of young Latinos in the United States.
