The present study was conducted to examine the involvement practices of a low-income community of African-American caregivers in the education of their young children. Parent involvement was conceptualized as caregivers' contributions to children's education and development in the home, in the community, and in the school. In addition, the present conceptualization included an investigation of the barriers to their involvement experienced by the caregivers and the strategies they utilized to offset the presence of the barriers. It was expected that the families would be involved in the education of their children and develop strategies to offset the barriers.

520 $a The present study was conducted to examine the involvement practices of a low-income community of African-American caregivers in the education of their young children. Parent involvement was conceptualized as caregivers' contributions to children's education and development in the home, in the community, and in the school. In addition, the present conceptualization included an investigation of the barriers to their involvement experienced by the caregivers and the strategies they utilized to offset the presence of the barriers. It was expected that the families would be involved in the education of their children and develop strategies to offset the barriers.
520 $a To address its goal, the present study adopted an emic research methodology involving conducting interviews with the 14 participating caregivers. The families were interviewed to obtain information about their family attributes, schooling level of the caregivers, and program characteristics of their children's school. In particular, caregivers were interviewed extensively about their involvement practices at home, in the community, and at school as well as their parenting practices. In addition, barriers to involvement and how they offset the barriers were addressed in different parts of the interview.
520 $a Interviews were conducted at a convenient location for the participants and were audiotaped. Summaries obtained from the audiotaped interviews constituted the database for the study. All of the analyses were based on these summaries.
520 $a The results indicated that all of the caregivers were involved with their children at home, in the community, and at school; however, there were variations in the form of involvement across caregivers. Although some families experienced barriers such as work or school schedules to their involvement, they had developed strategies to offset them. The results provide support for the expectation that the community of low-income caregivers is sensitively engaged in the education of their children.
