P.R.I.D.E. Commitment Statement- What It Means To Me

P.R.I.D.E stands for Positive Identity Development In Early Childhood Education.  The point of P.R.I.D.E is to build a positive racial identity and self awareness in young children.   

In my classroom, I welcome and encourage diversity.  It is also important for teachers and families to work together as a team. i always teach about other cultures and encourage diversity by having dolls that are different shades of brown, books and pictures around the room that show diversity and introduce different types of music from around the world. Representation is shown in all areas of the classroom.  I want the African American children in my class to feel welcome, loved and special 🦋
