New Zealand's early childhood centers are increasingly multicultural. Early childhood educators work with children and adults from different cultures and beliefs. Te Whaariki (Ministry of Education [MoE], 1996) directs educators to embrace diverse cultural perspectives and places importance on the child's family and culture. This essay will discuss the various strategies that educators incorporate into their practice to support children and families from different cultures. Culture is lifestyle. It includes traditions, protocols, values ​​and beliefs. Culture is the essence of life, which has some explicit and other implicit aspects. Explicit aspects of culture include visible things, such as food, clothing, cooking, and much more; while implicit aspects of culture include values ​​and beliefs, protocols and much more. Culture evolves over time but remains an inseparable part of our identity. It is important for early childhood educators to be aware of implicit aspects of culture that help provide better support and guidance to children and families (Ramsey, 2004; Ritchie, 1960; Terreni & McCallum, 2003). Cultures can be different in their beliefs and values. In low-context cultures, individualism and independence are promoted. Children are encouraged to make their own decisions and communicate their thoughts effectively. While in a high cultural context interdependence is valued, family comes first and there is much less communication (Kaiser & Raminsky, 2003; Chan, 2006). Educators often observe some differences in the behavior of some children. It is essential to know the cultural background of these children for a better understanding of their behavior (Kaiser & Raminsky, 2003). Because in the... middle of the paper... I turn.
