Multicultural Butterfly Garden Preschool is committed to multicultural education. This means we share in a commitment to human rights, dignity of the individual, and social justice. We strive to create a program that truly reflects the lives of our children, families, staff, and community. By recognizing the impact culture has on families, we will make every effort to provide culturally responsive education by affirming human differences. We seek to recognize, appreciate, and respect the uniqueness of each child.			We make the commitment to multicultural education by: recognizing the beauty, value, and contribution of each child. fostering high self-esteem and positive self-concept in all children. teaching children about their own culture and facilitating appreciation for that culture. introducing children to other cultures. providing children with a positive experience by exploring similarities and differences. encouraging children to respect other cultures. increasing children's ability to talk and play with people who are different from themselves. helping children to be a group member. helping children live happily and cooperatively in a diverse world. helping children recognize unfair behavior and giving them the knowledge to do something about it. teacher/staff treating children of all races, religions, family backgrounds/lifestyles, and cultures with equal respect. Treating children and families of all races, religions, cultures, and family configuration with equal respect.
