One hope that I have when I think about
working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is to be open-minded and effectively bring positive change to the
families in regard to diversity. One goal I would like to set for the early
childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to familiarize oneself
with the various cultures to be better informed on the diverse cultures.
I would like to say thank you to all of my colleagues. I have truly appreciated,
respected, and enjoyed your reflections and insights during this course. I wish you all much success as we move
forward in our field of Early Childhood Education.

Neketha, I agree if we better prepare ourselves we can inform others of how to learn and develop in a diverse world by respecting and being accepting of all people. If we continue with what we learned throughout this course we can build children up with positive identities and feelings about who they are as an individual. Best wishes...
