Discussions about bias, diversity, race, discrimination, and social justice are often not addressed with preschool children. As educators, we can provide guidance on how to celebrate diversity, embrace inclusion, respond to racist encounters, and extinguish injustice. Preschool children will grow in their empathy, respect for themselves, and the uniqueness of others. Explore the anti-bias and culturally responsive approach. Leave with an awareness of how to embed experiences, including quality children’s literature, into daily classroom routines.
