| Abstract: | The purpose of this study is to consider how mothers of kindergartners navigate their families’ experiences within a community
and how their children’s school experiences affect their interactions and investment in a place. The questions this research
asks is: How do mothers define and describe their neighborhood? What role does the school play as mothers navigate their children’s
experiences in the community? Findings indicate that the way that families conceptualize and manage their context indicates
that their values, needs, and life aspirations, which are clearly connected to their experiences and perceptions of the school. |
