Our Holly Tree family celebrated our blessings together
with a fabulous Thanksgiving feast and fellowship!
See some of our fun and smiles below:
We've said it before and we'll say it again;
Holly Tree is all about family. We're a diverse
family community that works together--
and that certainly "works" for us!
The National Association For The Education Of Young Children,
found at www.naeyc.org,
has this to say about diverse Early Childhood communities:
"The intercultural approach realizes that no one individual
fully represents an ethnicity or a race. Each person
represents his or her own experience as a member of a
group and within his or her cultural context. The phrase
cultural context within the early childhood education
setting is inclusive of all aspects of a child’s cultural
identity that are unique and influential: ethnicity and
race, primary language, family composition, socioeconomic status,
and special needs. Each individual can simultaneously
contribute in multiple ways to the richness of the cultural context.
Even in classrooms where children
appear to be homogeneous in terms
of ethnicity and socioeconomic status, they may
have a variety of special needs and are likely
being raised in a variety of different family structures.
The varieties of family compositions,
for example, bring unique experiences
into children’s lives and, thus, their
cultural context. "
We couldn't agree more!
Why do we succeed at Holly Tree?
We value individuals. And so do our teachers. In our
classrooms you'll find Early Childhood professionals
who care about teaching individual children,
as well as their classroom groups,
along with welcoming families of all kinds.
Come see how comfortable Early Childhood care can be!
Visit us at Holly Tree today!
Blessings!
