Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi, I am a little stuck on what to write for the following question :

describe some strategies that a child care service can employ to show respect for cultural diversity in all communications and interactions with families and children?? any ideas would be great

thanks heaps

learn about the childrens backgrounds, where they are from, their customs etc
you can ask parents to give you common words and things you say in the classroom in their native language so the child understands more (if english is not 1st lang)
you can celebrate things from other countries and cultures & include families
have experiences in the classroom from other cultures eg make sushi, lamingtons, cheese etc
