As the director of the Family Child Care Center I will strive to ensure that all of the children and caregivers feel welcome and included in our community. To help with inclusion, I will invite all of the families to create a square for the family quilt that will be hanging in the classroom. The square will consist of family pictures and anything else that is important for the family to share.
I will invite families to include several activities throughout the year. We will have family circle times, we will have family cultural week where all families can share their culture and diversity, and we will have special events for caregivers as well. There will be materials from all ethnicities, and lessons to accompany them. We will also include child lead lessons as well to promote critical thinking in the children.
It is critical for all families to feel welcome and included. The Family Child Care Center will strive to make all feel welcome, included, and part of our community.
I love the idea of the family quilt. What a great visual for all (parents, children, and staff) to remember that when we all contribute something beautiful is made. IT would serve as a great reminder for all in the home!
