In an urban midwestern public school district, families of Native Indian students, pre-K through grade 12, attend four multigenerational gatherings in one of a number of events orchestrated by the Native Indian Centered Education (NICE) program. NICE is a program in the school district that partners with families to provide Native-centric educational opportunities for preschool children. To address the persistent achievement gap between children in low income, minority communities and children in mainstream, middle-class communities, one knows that "both school experiences and home and early life experiences are important". A two-pronged approach to the problem involves creating high-quality, culturally responsive, educational programming in preschools and collaborating with community partners to design engaging after-school opportunities for families. This article briefly reviews the status of urban indigenous families and discusses an innovative all-Native-American preschool, an early childhood initiative created to address the achievement gap. The authors share their perspectives on the NICE preschool program, supplying background, research, and resources.
