Diversity

Social Studies

• The child learned about the concept of diversity and how it refers to the differences and similarities between people.

Encourage continued development by engaging the child in activities that expose them to different cultures and perspectives. This can include trying new foods, attending cultural festivals, or watching documentaries about different countries.
