Welcoming Families From Around the World

I choose a family from the country origin of Africa.  

Five ways in which I will prepare myself to be culturally responsive towards this family:

·         Research their country’s views about child development

·         Research the roles of each family member

·         Print real life images of items in their country that coincide with similar used items in the learning environment

·         Printed vocabulary words that can be translated to have shared meanings

·         Provide similar clothing from their country in dramatic play area

I hope my preparation I describe above provides me with the needed information to building a relationship with the child and his/her family.  I also hope that the family will feel welcome and respected in my learning environment.  Finally, I hope the learning materials will provide the child with opportunities to share his/her knowledge about materials.
