Creating Affirming Environments: This week we were asked to imagine that we were opening up our own family daycare. We are suppose describe how we would create a welcoming environment.
I would have welcome signs welcoming all cultures. I would have posters of children and families from all sorts of cultures. In dramatic play I would include multicultural foods, dolls, clothes, and musical instruments. I would add multicultural books and puppets to reading. I would add multicultural art supplies, people for blocks, and music. I would also make sure to have books that are in Spanish.
