LOGICAL APPROACH

LITERATURE REVIEW

• At least half of all children in Syracuse, Rochester and Schenectady live in poverty, rates much higher than in New York City where 29.8 percent of children live below the federal poverty line. (The fiscal policy institute)

• Providing high-quality education to disadvantaged children in low poverty areas can play a crucial role in their development in their future. “Higher quality care can be linked with improving outcomes for children” including poverty(Greenberg 2007:74)

• The lack of a good/high quality education can cause children to become a part of the poverty spectrum (Warren, Mapp 2011:2).
