It means to me that we have to encourage self-exploration, including values and curiosity, and always celebrate the individuality of each child and recognize their unique traits, talents, and abilities. Creating that sense of belonging is crucial as it creates a safe space for the child and the family. A sense of belonging brings an environment full of diversity, where every feeling is also validated.

It means embracing that child for who they are and will be- it means welcoming and engaging that child's family in a way that they are comfortable. It means incorporating them, their culture, their experiences and their expectations into your program- with a genuine caring manner.
