How do we begin to understand diversity in early childhood in order to combat biases? There are many layers of diversity within families that are important to examine. We must consider ethnic diversity first and foremost as we engage in a conversation regarding diversity, as we know (or should know) the history of people of color in the US and the challenges and adversities that we have experienced. In the context of this book, understanding diversity begins with positioning a definition that encompasses the realities of many families particularly across the US such as immigration status, gender, family structure, sexual identity, class, and spiritual beliefs. We also see the importance to talking about race within the context of early childhood.

The chapters in this book bring insights about issues that early childhood educators encounter in our increasingly diverse classrooms. Being well prepared to interact all children and their families is a moral imperative that must be addressed at the pre-service level, and this book provides readings that can help future teachers recognize the richness of diversity and its positive contribution to learning.
