Culturally responsive pedagogy is a method and practice of teaching in which early childhood educators and providers build on the assets that their children and families bring into the classroom. As the populations of our students grow more diverse, early childhood educators and providers must be better prepared to respond to their needs. This requires a greater understanding and knowledge of their students’ communities’ culture, strengths, and socio-political contexts. With this practice, childcare centers and schools can become hubs of learning focused on the well being of the children and families being served.
