Diversity, Development, and Learning - Farewell

One hope that I will carry with me as this course draws to an end is to have the ability to support all young children and the families I will be working with and learning with in my classroom. I want each child to know I see him/her and I am here for him/her and no matter the differences that other see first, I only see a child that I can learn with.

One goal for the early childhood field is a sense of equity. All too often families must choose care solely based on the costs, availability, or accommodations. Every young children has the right to a high quality equitable program and it is now that the field of early child education needs to start discovering pathways to implement this.

Nigel, Theresa, Margaret, and NaKeisha,
The weeks have been long but the insightful interactions have been truly rewarding. Learning with each of you these past eight weeks has offered me a better understanding of what it is to be an anti-bias educator. Through our discussion posts and our blog interactions, it has been a true pleasure learning with each of you. Best wishes as each of you continue on your journey. Thank you.
