Celebrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Through Stories
Celebrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Through Stories
We believe that every child deserves to see their language and culture valued. Our program reflects the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) by creating a space where linguistic diversity is celebrated and cultural exchange is encouraged.
Why the DEI approach matters:
Fosters Belonging: Multilingual children gain confidence and pride in their heritage by sharing their mother tongues.
Builds Bridges: English-speaking families discover the richness of other languages and cultures.
Strengthens Communities: Celebrating diversity helps build a more inclusive and understanding society.
