Canada is a culturally diverse nation. This diversity also shapes child care facilities. Consequently, it is important for child care providers to understand and respect the uniqueness and diversity of all families, including their own.

 

This session highlights the importance of cultural diversity. It offers an introduction to cultural knowledge and skills to better support your interactions with children and their families.
