I would love to have my own childcare center. I would have colorful rooms but also a nap room that was painted with soothing and calming colors. In the rooms, I would have multi-cultural books, posters of cultures from around the world, cultural language posted on items and workers who are proud to work with diverse groups of children and families. I like what Mrs. Castillo said about the schedule being posted for the parents.
i would love to have days set aside when familes and childrens can come in mingle with each other. I would also love to incorporate culture day where families can come in and maybecook their childs favorite food or discuss something that is unique about their culture. The main thing I would like for my childcare center to experience is being known as the place wher all children and their familes as well as worker cooperate to enhance childrens learning.
I love the idea of incorporating culture day in your center. This would be a great opportunity for families to learn from one another. I feel that food is an important aspect of culture and sharing this would gives families a better understanding of who they are and where they come from. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJoy - I think that having a cultural day would also allow the parents to learn with the children. Often when parents have not been in diverse environments, it can be the child actually teaching the parent tolerance and acceptance.
