A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: Penn State Child Care Center Family Forum

This brown bag was a continuation of the ongoing anti-bias and diversity series hosted by the Center for Education and Civil Rights, the Bennett Family Center, and the Child Care Center at Hort Woods. We invited families and their children to attend and share their experiences, observations, and thoughts with center educators.

We were interested in learning more about how parents desire to participate, and gathering additional ideas for strengthening community, parent involvement, and ensuring that all families feel welcome in our child care centers.

This forum was facilitated by:

• Holley Rochford, Director of Early Child Care Programs and Services
• Dr. Allison Henward, Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education
• Dr. Erica Frankenberg, Associate Professor of Education and Demography
