Essential Connections: Ten Keys to Culturally Sensitive Child
Care
Culture is the fundamental building
block of identity. When young children are cared for by their parents
and other family members, the process of cultural learning occurs
naturally. Early child care that respects time-honored cultural
rules helps children develop a secure sense of self. In essence
the gifts children receive from an infancy firmly grounded in their
home culture are confidence, competence, and connection. For children
to receive these gifts, culturally sensitive care is crucial. The
video recommends 10 key ways to structure and run child care programs
to strengthen children's connections with their families and their
home culture. Experts contributing to this video include Louise
Derman-Sparks, Lily Wong Fillmore, Carol Brunson Phillips, and Yolanda
