On the other side, when a kid sees their cultures reflected and respected their self esteem grows stronger.

The WACs say teachers should respect all families and their different cultures and languages. Teachers need to work with families, listen to them and often showing interest to learn more about what kids like to do outside school will help greatly. Everyone should feel welcome and included. This helps children learn better and families feel happy.

WAC 110-300-0085 states that “(1) An early learning provider must communicate with families to identify individual children’s developmental goals,” directing ECEs to collaborate and team with families to ensure students’ needs are met. It goes on to state that .”2) An early learning provider must attempt to obtain information from each child’s family about that child’s developmental, behavioral, health, linguistic, cultural, social, and other relevant information. The provider must make this attempt upon that child’s enrollment and annually thereafter.”This means that families’ culture and heritage needs to be appreciated and known.WAC 110-300-0030 Clearly lays out the nondiscrimination policies that all ECEs must have. “Nondiscrimination (1) Early learning programs are defined by state law as places of public accommodation that must: (a) Not discriminate in employment practices or client services based on race, creed, color, national origin, sex, honorably discharged veteran or military status, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ability; and (b) Comply with the requirements of the Washington law against discrimination (chapter 49.60 RCW) and the ADA. (2) An early learning program must have a written nondiscrimination policy addressing at least the factors listed in subsection (1) of this section.”
