Young children notice differences in people like skin color, hair type, eye shape, and the foods they eat and languages they speak. We adults can help them learn about these differences and try to prevent them from absorbing prejudiced ideas they may see or hear other places. In this group, we will read books together about skin color, race, culture, and the prejudice and discrimination associated with those traits and explore our own physical appearance and culture through play and art. Each week, families will also get to borrow a bag with books to read at home and tips for parents and/or activities related to the books. 

For children ages 3-6 with a caregiver. Younger siblings welcome.

This group is facilitated by an Early Childhood Educator from First Connections, CFCE. This is a 10-week group with the same families meeting each week. There is limited space still available - please contact Ellie Springer at espringer@jri.org to see if you can attend.
