America was founded on the premise of equal opportunities for all. Despite this aspiration, American children coming from various racial, cultural, and ethnic groups experience educational disparity. According to the American Psychological Foundation (2012), these educational disparities are reflected among ethnic and racial groups in a child’s ability to get adequate health care and formative early childhood services.
