The one hope that I have when working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that they are welcomed with open hearts and arms and that those families can continue to experience their home language and traditions and share them with other families. That diversity is welcomed in every center around the world and that every child is treated in a fair and equitable manner.
The goal that I would set for the early childhood field is that all early childhood professionals welcome diverse groups in a fair and equitable manner, that cultures are respected, home languages are encouraged, and that relationships are built with each child and their families.
This has been a long and challenging class that has made me focus on my past and how the past influences my future. I want to thank each and every one of you for your input in this learning process. I appreciate all the support that you have given to me, and that I truly hope that I have demonstrated my support in a non-microaggessive manner. I hope that everyone has a safe and relaxing break.
Thank you again,
Luci
