Program and Practice

  • How can early childhood professionals ensure that their services are inclusive and equitable to all families?  
  • Can children with additional needs from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds engage in the program at the same level as their peers?  


Inclusion, equity and high expectations is a challenging topic for most educators, but there are many ways that we can change our practice to benefit all families and children attending our services! 

This 2-hour-session will explore the concepts of equity, inclusion and high expectations, and help educators to reflect on these concepts and their current practice.
