The WACs communicate that diversity and communication with families is paramount. 110-300-0160 states that providers must intervene when biased behavior is displayed by children or by adults. WAC 110-300-0085 requires that providers work with families to identify developmental goals.

    WAC 110-300-0085 states that “an early learning provider must communicate with families to identify individual children’s developmental goals.” WAC-110-300-0030 addresses non-discrimination by stating that early learning programs are “places of public accommodation… and must not discriminate… on basis of race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, class, age, religion or disability.State law requires child care employees to honor all children’s race, religion, culture, gender, physical ability and family structure, and to provide families with information on their child’s progress in the center.Diverse dolls/toys that represent children/people of all race and genders.

While WAC 110-300-0160 states the promotion of diversity through the use of culturally relevant equipment and materials that reflect families and staff.What big messages do the WACs give regarding diversity and collaboration? – State law requires child care employees to honor all children’s race, religion, culture, gender, physical ability and family structure, and to provide families with information on their child’s progress in the center.

    1. Specific WACs would include 110-300-085 and 110-300-0030.2. State law requires child care employees to honor all students race, religion, culture, gender, physical ability, family structure, and to provide families with information about the students progress in the daycare.

    1. WACs 110-300-0160 Acceptance of Diversity.Requires that providers offer culturally and racially diverse learning opportunities. 2. I think a big message is that diversity and inclusion are core values, as well as building a sense of community and collaboration with families as these things play a huge role in a child’s development and growth.

    110-300-085 talks about how to build family partnerships and communication with families. 110-300-0150 says “a provider must supply a variety of materials that satisfy individual, developmental, and cultural needs”110-300-300 says “An early learning provider must develop an individual care plan for each child with special needs and must notify the department when a child with special needs is enrolled”One big message that all WACs give regarding diversity and collaboration is that every child is unique and has different culture, learning abilities, families, religion and developmental abilities. Diversity in the classroom makes it better, not worse, and every difference should be valued and honored. One material that might help increase inclusivity in the classroom would be having visual materials, such as flashcards with not only English but the other languages represented in the classroom.
