Diversity and Its Role In The Settling In Process

Welcoming All Children

Educators will generally set up their classroom with different learning styles in mind. It is necessary for a kindergarten to be informed if a child has previously been diagnosed with any additional learning needs. Parents and educators will discuss what will best help the child to settle in and develop a clear plan of what this could look like while allowing for flexibility where needed. It is good to talk about how to prepare for the first few days as it may be slightly different depending on the child's needs. If the parent has ideas of how the educators can better support their child, this would be a great time to share them. The more information parents can give and share, the better the pro- cess will be for everyone.
