This episode features our conversation with Brooke Varghese who has taught in China, Vietnam, Oman, and the United States. Having experienced what it is like to be a stranger in totally different cultures, Varghese is particularly concerned with creating welcoming, inclusive environments for her young students. As Varghese points out, even in the same community, each family has its own culture. One important role of early childhood education is helping students make the transition from the familiarity of their home culture to differences encountered in the broader community.
