Northern Kentucky University Early Childhood Center

We believe that excellent child care replicates many of the aspects of a loving home environment, where caring adults nurture children to grow and learn. We have a basic respect for the uniqueness of each child. The intent of our curriculum is to offer diverse opportunities for learning.

We believe each child’s cultural background is also relevant in the design of a curriculum that is age-appropriate for all children and individually appropriate for each child. We provide a variety of multicultural, nonstereotyping materials and experiences for children in order to enhance each child’s self-concept and to broaden the experiences of all children. We believe multicultural curriculum experiences enrich the lives of children by fostering an appreciation of the differences and similarities among them.
