Building culturally & linguistically competent services to support young children, their families and school readiness

Toolkit is the accurate word that author Kathy Hepburn uses to describe this 2004 publication. It was developed to provide guidance, tools and resources to assist communities in building culturally and linguistically competent services, supports, programs and practices related to young children and their families. Each section includes an overview of a key content area (e.g., Learning about Family and Community: Family Culture and Information Gathering); critical questions for communities; key strategies for families, providers and administrators; guides, tip sheets and checklists; promising practices and annotated resources. It’s an extensive collection of current and useful information and tools. For example, don’t miss “Tips for Bringing Family Strengths into the Early Care and Classroom Setting in Support of Multicultural Learning” on page 68!
