One of your responsibilities as a child care provider is providing a culturally relevant, anti-bias program.
In your activities and classroom you must provide multicultural, non-stereotyping materials and activities that will support each child’s sense of self and family, teach children to accept and appreciate differences and similarities between people, and Help children better understand the ways of others in their community and around the world.
The following principles form the framework for
multicultural programming:
•
Everyone has a culture
•
Know your own culture first
•
Provide authentic unbiased images
•
Foster concrete experiences at the child’s
level
•
Make the culture climate of the classroom and the
home consistent
•
Support and value the home language
•
Staff should reflect the families they serve
•
Expose the children to a variety of cultures
in accurate ways
•
Examine and challenge institutional and
personal biases
•
All staff should be involved in this effort
