“Family relationships have more influence on a child’s learning than any other relationship he has.” (p. 10)

Learning

begins in relationships, is

informed by relationships, and is

stimulated by relationships

Loving and learning are not separate.

The Importance of Daily Interaction

Through cultural learning children gain:

A feeling of belonging

A sense of personal history

Security in knowing who they are and where they come from

What the Baby Learns about Self from Interaction

I am listened to or not.

What I choose to do is valued or it isn’t.

How I express my emotions is accepted or it isn’t.

I am allowed to explore or I am not.

Mostly my needs are met or they are not.

Family and Home: The Starting PointChildren build their basic sense of trust, security, and stability on cultural foundations learned at home. Therefore, continuity, consistency, and respect in the early care environment for cultural foundations are essential to children’s growth.

Carol Brunson Day. 2013. “Culture and Identity Development: Getting Infants and Toddlers Off to a Great Start.” In Infant/Toddler Caregiving: A Guide to Culturally Sensitive Care, Second Edition.

Culturally Responsive Services

The goal of culturally responsive care and education is to create and foster an equal playing field for all the infants and toddlers in a program.

Louise Derman Sparks. 2013. “Prejudice, Bias, and Inequity in the Lives of Infants and Toddlers.” In Infant/Toddler Caregiving: A Guide to Culturally Sensitive Care, Second Edition.

A culturally responsive program is committed to open, respectful conversations with each family and ongoing changes to create continuity between the family’s home and the program.

Cultural Communities and Cultural Practices Framework

The cultural practices, or routine ways of doing things, define the cultural context in which humans develop. Using this approach, practitioners can explore how culturally based practices drive children’s developmental outcomes.

Wishard Guerra, A., & S. Garrity. 2013. “A Cultural Communities and Cultural Practices Approach to Understanding Infant and Toddler Care.” In Infant/Toddler Caregiving: A Guide to Culturally Sensitive Care, Second Edition.

Culturally Consistent and Culturally Responsive When you understand different values and beliefs, you will be able to collaborate with families to develop harmony between what happens at home and what happens in the program. It may not always be culturally consistent, but if you are at least as responsive as possible, the care you provide for infants and toddlers is more likely to support the culture of the home.

Importance of the Home Language

Knowing the family language facilitates cultural learning, smooth emotional communication, and the establishment of the relationship between teachers and families in early care settings.

The Role of Nonverbal Communication Early in LifeWhether learning one language or two languages, infants and toddlers rely greatly on nonverbal means—such as face-to-face contact, gestures, posture, and body contact—to communicate with their caregivers.

Collaborating with the family is essential to learning about an infant’s or toddler’s experiences with nonverbal communication at home.
