The concepts of culture and diversity are often intertwined and can become difficult to differentiate. Understanding culture and diversity and the differences between the two, allows educators to consider all aspects of the family and the child in relation to growth and development. When educators can understand how a child’s culture and diversity impact their development, they are better able to support them in ways that are culturally sensitive. In addition, through careful consideration of the family educators can value the importance of providing care to the family as a unit.
