WHY TEACH HOLIDAYS AROUND THE WORLD?
Teaching young children about cultural diversity is crucial in today’s globalized society. By exposing them to different traditions and customs, we help them develop a sense of empathy and respect for others. Research has shown that children who learn about different cultures at a young age are more likely to embrace diversity and have a broader perspective on the world.
According to a study by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), cultural understanding in early childhood can promote positive social and emotional development, enhance cognitive skills, and contribute to a more inclusive classroom environment.
