Providing an environment that embraces and values diversity is paramount in designing a child care program. Your program will most likely be comprised of students from many different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and religious groups. While providing quality lesson plans and activities is a primary focus when program planning, it is also essential to consider how to nurture a supportive and respectful view of diversity. This helps student to develop a positive self-identity.
Educational materials that are ten or more years old should be avoided, as they commonly do not provide a wide range of diversity. Likewise, children may not identify with the outdated style of clothing, hair, and surroundings in outdated materials. |
