Abstract:

The author, Director of the Jewish Day Nursery in Cleveland, OH, discusses her experience with fifteen Soviet immigrant children among the sixty children served by her pre-school. She identifies seven concepts useful for teachers and staff to remember in order to help immigrant children to acculturate, and to help teachers, staff and other children to learn from and appreciate the immigrants' culture(s).
