Welcoming Families From Around the World


I just received word that I a student from France will be moving to the United States and becoming a part of my child care facility. I am preparing to welcome this family to our country.

To become culturally responsive towards my new family I will make a personal commitment to getting to know and understand this student on a personal level, which includes understanding him/her socially and emotionally and knowing their academic abilities.

I will do as much research as possible to better understand their cultural interest and beliefs and make arrangement to ensure it is included in my classroom setting.

I will help the student to understand the importance of valuing their home culture while learning different aspects of other cultures.

I will address issues of diversity and use the student’s cultural background to create and effective and meaningful learning experience.

I will be respectful of the family values and beliefs.




 These preparation help make the transition to moving to a new country more pleasant. They also allow me to be better prepared to ensure the child and his/her family feel safe and that they belong.
