How to make your preschool welcome to children and families from diverse cultures. We all know that it is important for preschool teachers to be culturally sensitive to our children and families, and to make sure everyone feels welcome and respected. But what does that look like in practice? In this presentation, we will discuss concrete strategies for planning your environment, using literature, having clarification conversations with children, and interacting with families from diverse backgrounds. We will also present a number of classroom activities that encourage children’s awareness of different cultures and the importance of self-identity.
