What Do Tattoos, Piercings, Hairstyles Have to Do with DAP in Early Childhood Care and Education? by Heather Bernt-Santy, M.A. Ed.

This webinar is sponsored by Early Childhood Investigations Consultants Directory, the only online hub where clients in early care and education can connect with consultants who specialize in your program's needs!

What do we know about typical child development? What do we know about the individual children in our care and classrooms right now? What do we know about their families and their cultures? Early childhood practitioners who are familiar with the three core considerations of developmentally appropriate practice, as outlined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, will recognize these questions as those that should guide our decision making for our interactions and programs. But what role should these questions play in our decision-making regarding staff dress codes? Join this free webinar by Heather Bernt-Santy to explore the boundaries of culturally inclusive dress code policies with the lens of DAP.

In this session you will:

• Examine how dress code policies can impact development

• Identify opportunities for inclusive care and education

• Deepen their ideas of cultural competency
