Engaging with Diverse Families
Description: Family involvement is an essential component of a quality early childhood program. However, it can be challenging when parents and families come from diverse cultures and backgrounds, resulting in differences in values, behavioral expectations, and communication. Participants will examine their own cultural beliefs, their origins, and explore how to better connect with and engage with all parents and families.
