The name of the
country that I have chosen is India.
The five ways that I
will prepare for the family from India is:
o
Learn about their cultural customs and
practices.
o
Setup a meeting for the family to come
in to talk about the child’s care
o
Let them see that we are interested in
their customs by learning to pronoun names correctly
o
Include some books or posters in the classroom
about the culture
o
Educate staff about diversity
I believe that learning about a child culture is
important for the growth of the child. I think that if we include pictures and
other thing from that culture, we are letting the child and family know that we
are including them. It is also important to educate the staff about diversity,
explaining to them that all children should feel comfortable when they come
through our doors. As early childhood educators it is important that children
get a good first impression about learning, because it will make huge difference
in their life.
I think meeting with the family before the child starts is so important to the child's success and also helps ease some of the anxiety that occurs for both the child and the parents on the first day of school. You can also learn a lot about families from these meetings, plus it is done without the distractions of the other children and you can focus solely on this family.
