A cross-disciplinary study of multicultural and anti-bias education designed for early childhood teachers to develop an understanding and awareness of the importance of affirming culture in early childhood care settings. The focus is on an understanding of the implications of individual, group, and systemic levels of culture as it applies to the development of the whole child’s relationship to the global world, the community, families, and children. Cross-cultural, inter-cultural, inclusionary practices, racism, discrimination, ethnocentrism, and cultural identity are explored and discussed.
