Activity 1.3 | Mindset

We welcome so many different families into our programs, including families who have recently arrived from elsewhere. Sometimes, they are refugee families from countries in turmoil or maybe families who are new to English or maybe a family going through their own trauma. We also have staff who juggle their own lives with work and may have children or other family members they care for. Each family will come with their own experiences, knowledge, and cultures, as will each staff member. Hopefully, most of your staff will have their education in early childhood or are in the process of getting that education. 

How can we think about inclusion from our own mindset and from another's experience? What is your story? How might other's see your story? Capture your initial thoughts in your journal.
