What I have Learned

 

 

One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families from diverse backgrounds is that I will be able to embrace them and treat them with respect and dignity. I also hope that I will be able to relate to them in some way and make them feel welcomed and loved.

 

 

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field when it comes to diversity, equity, and social justice is that educators and families would have scheduled required meetings to be able to learn about the backgrounds of children and families in an effort to better serve and educate children and their families.

 

 

I would like to thank my colleagues for sharing your thoughts during this past eight weeks. It always seems like the eight weeks go by so quickly. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from each of you. I think we all share the goal of wanting to improve the lives of the children we come in contact with. I hope that we will all continue to make it our life's mission to serve children and their families. I wish you all the best on your personal and professional journeys. Peace
