We know it is our job as educators to provide effective learning activities for all children and their families. Often, it can be intimidating for families that are learning both a new culture and language to participate in learning opportunities in their child’s program.

It is important that we are mindful of providing activities that are appropriate for culturally and linguistically diverse families. The first step to ensure we are doing this is to critically analyze what it is we are expecting from families.

As you prepare activities that involve families, ask yourself, is this activity one that families can do together with minimal

language support? Does the activity include opportunities for hands on, interactive participation?

If the word was “behind” they might demonstrate this by putting the stuffed animal behind their backs.
