One hope that I have when I think about the work that I do with children and families in the early childhood field is that each child and family that enters into any ECE program is treated fairly, given an opportunity to share their culture, learn from others cultures and to never experience any biases.
One goal that I have is to work with my program and centers and ensure that all cultures of the children enrolled into each of our classrooms are represented in the daily lessons, the learning centers and activities. It is my goal that there will not be a dominate culture represented and that all cultures are created equal.
Thank you to all of you that were able to share your struggles and personal stories. By doing that you were able to enrich my life and ensure that we all benefited from this class. Happy Holidays!

ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your great blog postings each week.
I, too want to ensure all children's cultures are accepted as well as encouraged in my classroom.
Blessings,
