PROGRAM GOALS
Multi-Cultural Philosophy
Multi-cultural education begins right in the classroom. It begins with each child's family. Every family is different; they do things in different ways. Each family celebrates holidays in different ways. Each child has different eyes, hair, skin color, smile, and personality. But each child or person has the same basic needs. We all need love, kindness, and approval. We all feel happy, sad, pain, hunger, cold, and hot. After we teach the basic needs and differences in each child, we extend our understanding and appreciation for our ethnic children. Parents participate by preparing special ethnic food or sharing special ethnic items.

We talk about how special our differences make us. Some of our teachers speak with an accent and will sing and play games in Spanish with the children. We teach the differences of our children; we teach about other parts of the world, with their folklore costumes and their modern ways of living. Children in other parts of the world play, laugh, and have the same basic needs as us, as well as special differences.
All boys and girls have the opportunity to participate in all the activities offered in our center. We respect all parental differences. Some moms and dads work in the home and some outside the home; some children live in homes with both parents, some in single-parent homes. Some live with stepparents, as well as stepbrothers and sisters. Some are from foster homes, and some may be adopted.
We believe that at the Children's Discovery Center, all children are created and loved by God equally; therefore, we love and teach the children about all nations, countries, and people.
Goals for Each Child
