Examples of strategies that will help to ensure that every child receives learning experiences that meet his/her unique needs:

Interact and play with children each day, supporting and encouraging their exploration

Support and encourage children's creative processes, putting less emphasis on fi nished products

Take time to learn about children's everyday experiences at home and in their own community.

Incorporate traditional (or long-standing) effective strategies used by children's home cultures to support learning and development

Ensure that children are provided with caregivers who interact in consistent ways, as much as possible

Provide multiple ways of teaching and learning, involving all of the senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste)

Provide the same range of experiences to all children, even though their responses may differ and some children may need adaptations

Use appropriate verbal, visual, and physical cues in interactions and activities

Observe, recognize, and support children's unique ways of approaching new information and expressing themselves, taking into consideration their temperaments, inclinations, and attitudes

Ensure that the environment is safe from cultural or other forms of bias

Use vocabulary and phrases in children's home language when introducing new ideas or concepts

Provide continued acknowledgements, in ways that refl ect children's cultural beliefs and traditions, so all children feel valued.

Seek medical or developmental expertise if concerned about child's learning and development
