- Respectful Language: Use respectful language and avoid making assumptions or stereotypes.
4. Support Language Learning:

- Language Support: Provide language support services, such as bilingual aides or language learning programs.

- Were you surprised by any of the WACs? I am surprised by the WAC Facility and program records from the previous twelve months must be easily accessible and kept on-site or in the program’s administrative office for department of other state agency’s review.
- Can you see how the WACs will influence your day-to-day practice in caring for children? Why or why not? Yes, I can see WACs influence in a day-to-day practice for every aspect in child care
