An urban family shelter in New England operates an on-site early childhood education program for the children of shelter residents and families living in the community. In contrast to the findings in much of the research on young homeless children, the case examples presented here illustrate the strengths and the coping strategies of homeless children, along with their similarities to their peers in the program who have homes. The importance of understanding the complex and varied experiences children and families have with homelessness is discussed, as well as implications for early childhood teachers, researchers, social workers, and child advocates.
新英格兰地区的一家城市家庭庇护所，为庇护所居民以及居住在社区中的家庭的孩子，开展了一个现场幼儿教育项目。与许多关于无家可归幼儿的研究结果不同，这里呈现的案例说明了无家可归儿童的优势和应对策略，以及他们与项目中有家可归的同龄人之间的相似之处。文中讨论了理解儿童和家庭在无家可归问题上所经历的复杂多样经历的重要性，以及对幼儿教师、研究人员、社会工作者和儿童权益倡导者的启示。
